Framber Valdez delivered a solid performance, allowing two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over seven innings in Friday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was a typical display of Valdez's ability to eat innings and keep his team in the game, contributing to his third win of the season. His season ERA now sits at a respectable 3.64, with a WHIP of 1.35, which, while not elite, should keep him in the mix as a reliable fantasy starter. The 7.0 K/9 rate continues to cap his upside in strikeout-heavy formats, but his groundball tendencies and ability to limit damage make him a safer bet in ERA and WHIP categories. Fantasy managers should view Valdez as a steady, if not spectacular, rotation option moving forward.
