Ryne Nelson stumbles against Orioles
by Chris Schommer | Diamondbacks Correspondent | Sun, May 12th 9:45am EDT
Ryne Nelson struggled in Saturday's matchup, allowing three earned runs on ten hits while striking out three over 4 2/3 innings in a 5-4 loss to the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact:
The right-hander didn't issue any walks, which is a small silver lining in an otherwise disappointing outing. Nelson's performance this season has been less than stellar, marked by a bloated 5.33 ERA and 1.70 WHIP over six starts. His inability to limit hits, as evidenced by a high .379 BABIP, continues to hamper his effectiveness. While his decent strikeout-to-walk ratio suggests some underlying skills, his low strikeout rate (6.8 K/9) limits his appeal in fantasy formats that heavily reward strikeouts. Moving forward, fantasy managers should be cautious with Nelson, considering him more of a matchup-dependent option rather than a regular starter.
