Framber Valdez Grinds Through Six for a Win
by Chase Davis | Astros Correspondent | Fri, Jul 5th 9:56am EDT
Framber Valdez allowed three earned runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance was a typical outing for Valdez, who has been navigating through the season with a middling 3.84 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. His season-long metrics, including a modest 7.1 K/9 and a 3.90 FIP, suggest that he's not exactly overpowering hitters but is managing to keep his team in games. The win improves his record to 7-5, reflecting some level of effectiveness. Fantasy managers should view Valdez as a steady, if unspectacular, option in their rotations, particularly in formats that reward innings pitched and game outcomes over dominant strikeout numbers.
