Alek Manoah

Alek Manoah allowed four earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over 4 2/3 innings in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Tigers.

Fantasy Impact

This outing marks a slight deviation from his otherwise solid start to the season, pushing his ERA up to 3.97 and his WHIP to 1.06. Despite a strong 9.1 K/9 rate and a decent 2.88 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Manoah's FIP of 5.68 suggests he might be benefiting from some good fortune, evidenced by a notably low .193 BABIP. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as his underlying metrics hint at potential regression, especially if his BABIP normalizes.

Alek Manoah allowed one hit over seven scoreless innings with seven strikeouts and one walk in a win on Sunday against the Rays.

Fantasy Impact

Manoah looked like his elite self from a couple of seasons ago. He'll look to carry it over into his next start against the Tigers.

Alek Manoah delivered a stellar performance, allowing zero earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out six over seven innings in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact

Despite his strong outing, Manoah was saddled with the loss, a tough pill to swallow given his dominance through the game. This performance was a significant improvement and should help in lowering his elevated ERA of 4.91 and WHIP of 1.36 from his earlier starts this season. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (9.8 K/9) while controlling the walks better in this game is a positive sign. Fantasy managers should note this performance as a potential turnaround point for Manoah, though his high FIP (6.26) suggests there might still be underlying issues to monitor.
