Alec Marsh

Alec Marsh allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out seven over five innings in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a solid performance that maintained his impressive ERA at 2.43 and WHIP at 1.05, Marsh was saddled with his second loss of the season. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate, now standing at 7.5 K/9, alongside a strong 3.10 strikeout-to-walk ratio, continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. However, fantasy managers should be cautious of his .248 BABIP, which suggests he might be benefiting from some good fortune on balls in play. Marsh's consistent performance, underscored by a 3.53 FIP, indicates he should remain a reliable starter in fantasy rotations, but monitoring any shifts in his underlying metrics will be key to anticipating his future outings.

Alec Marsh delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5 1/3 innings in the Royals' 2-1 win over the Angels on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

This outing continues a solid season for Marsh, who maintains a commendable 2.53 ERA and 1.03 WHIP through six starts. His ability to limit runs and maintain a low WHIP is a boon for fantasy managers, especially in formats that reward precision and efficiency. While his K/9 rate of 6.8 might not dazzle strikeout-hungry fantasy managers, his consistent performance and control, evidenced by a 2.67 strikeout-to-walk ratio, make him a reliable option in most fantasy rotations. Marsh's low BABIP of .234 suggests some luck, but his overall skill set keeps him relevant in fantasy discussions.

The Royals have activated Alec Marsh from the injured list.
