View More NewsJames McArthur secures shaky save against Angels
James McArthur allowed one earned run but still managed to notch a save as the Royals edged the Angels 4-2.
Fantasy Impact
He surrendered one hit and didn't issue any walks, using 11 pitches to complete his inning of work. Despite securing his ninth save of the season, McArthur's performance was hardly convincing, continuing a trend of precarious outings reflected in his elevated 4.42 ERA and 1.36 WHIP. His strikeout ability remains decent with an 8.8 K/9 rate, but his susceptibility to allowing hits, as indicated by a .359 BABIP, keeps him on thin ice. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his role as closer could be jeopardized if his inconsistency persists.
