Ben Lively Struggles in Tight Loss to White Sox

Ben Lively gave up three runs on eight hits, three walks and two strikeouts in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed three earned runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out only two over 5.2 innings. This performance slightly tarnishes what has been a solid season for Lively, who leaves the game with a still impressive 2.63 ERA and a decent 1.21 WHIP. His inability to suppress hits in this outing, combined with a lower strikeout total, could raise concerns about his consistency moving forward. Fantasy managers should monitor his next few starts closely to see if this game was a minor blip or a sign of underlying issues that could affect his fantasy value.
