Ronel Blanco

Ronel Blanco pitched 5.2 innings, allowing two earned runs on four hits and four walks while striking out five in Thursday's 4-3 victory over the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a somewhat shaky control that led to four walks, Blanco managed to limit the damage and secure his fifth win of the season. His ERA slightly rose to 2.23, but it remains impressive, as does his WHIP, which hovers just above 1.00. While his FIP suggests some regression might be on the horizon, his ability to maintain a low BABIP and a decent strikeout rate should keep him relevant in fantasy lineups. Owners should continue to monitor his walk rates, but for now, Blanco remains a solid starting option in most formats.

Ronel Blanco delivered a mixed outing in Friday's 5-3 victory over the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings. Despite not factoring into the decision, Blanco's performance slightly tarnished his stellar early-season stats, bumping his ERA to 2.09 and WHIP to 0.96. His 8.4 K/9 continues to offer fantasy value, though his FIP at 4.06 suggests some potential regression might be lurking. Fantasy managers should monitor if his low .181 BABIP begins to correct itself, potentially leading to more outings like today's as the season progresses.

Ronel Blanco delivered a solid performance, allowing two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight over 5 2/3 innings in Saturday's 12-4 win over the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

This outing continues a strong start to the season for Blanco, who now boasts a 1.65 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP through six starts. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (8.3 K/9) while keeping runs to a minimum has been a boon for fantasy managers. Despite a potentially unsustainable .175 BABIP suggesting some regression might be on the horizon, Blanco's performance so far makes him a valuable asset in most fantasy formats. His solid strikeout-to-walk ratio (2.14) also indicates good control, reinforcing his role as a reliable starter in fantasy rotations.

Ronel Blanco delivered a quality start but didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

He pitched six innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six. Despite the Astros' defeat, Blanco's performance continues to solidify his role in the rotation, maintaining a stellar 1.33 ERA and 0.85 WHIP through his first four starts of the season. His ability to limit hits and maintain a low ERA should keep him relevant in fantasy leagues, although his moderate strikeout rate (7.3 K/9) might limit his ceiling compared to more prolific strikeout pitchers. Nonetheless, Blanco's consistency and control make him a valuable asset, especially in deeper leagues or formats that reward quality starts.

Ronel Blanco delivered another strong outing, allowing two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings in the Astros' 9-2 victory over the Rangers on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

This performance continues a trend of effective starts for Blanco, allowing two runs or less and striking out at least four in each of his three starts on the mound for the Astros. The 30-year-old has been a bright spot as part of an injury-ravaged Houston rotation for manager Joe Espada to begin the season and should continue to be rolled out in lineups for fantasy managers moving forward.
