Chicago Cubs right-hander Adrian Sampson had a quality start in the team's 2-1 win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, but he didn't factor into the decision. Sampson allowed just one earned run on eight hits while walking one and striking out three in six innings pitched. The 30-year-old isn't dominant by any means -- he has a weak 6.2 strikeouts per nine innings in 88 2/3 frames in 2022 -- but he's been a solid innings-eater for the Cubs and fantasy managers. Sampson has a 1.71 ERA (3.53 FIP) and has allowed only five earned runs while striking out 13 in 26 1/3 innings in his last four outings. Overall, he's gone 2-5 for the Cubbies with a 3.35 ERA (3.75 FIP), a 1.29 WHIP and 61 K's in 88 2/3 innings over 18 outings (16 starts) in 2022.

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Adrian Sampson earned his second win of the season Tuesday, outdueling Jacob deGrom to help the team beat the New York Mets 4-1. Sampson threw six innings, allowing no runs on two hits and four walks. He struck out three batters. While Sampson does not have a very high fantasy ceiling, he's gone four straight outings without allowing more than two earned runs. Fantasy managers could do worse than to use Sampson and his 3.48 ERA and 1.27 WHIP as a streamer in the right matchups.
