Sixto Sanchez struggles, Marlins still triumph over Rangers

Sixto Sanchez allowed two earned runs on four hits and a walk over four innings in the Marlins' 8-2 victory over the Rangers on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's win, Sanchez's performance was less than stellar, failing to record a single strikeout. His season ERA now sits at an inflated 6.06, with a WHIP of 1.60, which are hardly inspiring figures for fantasy managers. His low strikeout rate (4.3 K/9) continues to be a concern, limiting his upside in categories that reward pitcher strikeouts. Given these numbers, Sanchez remains a risky play in most fantasy formats, especially in leagues that heavily penalize earned runs or value strikeouts. His role in the Marlins' pitching staff could be in jeopardy if this trend continues, making him a potential drop candidate in shallower fantasy leagues.
