James McArthur notched a save in the Royals' 5-3 victory over the Athletics, delivering a solid inning where he allowed two hits and struck out two without conceding any runs.
Fantasy Impact
This performance slightly improves his season ERA and WHIP, which have been points of concern for fantasy managers. McArthur's ability to strike out batters remains a strong asset, as evidenced by his 10.0 K/9 rate, but his high BABIP (.379) continues to suggest that he might be suffering from some bad luck or defensive shortcomings behind him. His save today, increasing his season total to 11, should keep him firmly in the closer role for Kansas City, but fantasy managers should remain cautious given his tendency to allow base runners and his less-than-stellar ERA and WHIP.
