Joe Ross Stats

Washington Nationals starter Joe Ross continued his strong start to the season Tuesday against Atlanta. Even though he earned his second loss of the season, Ross allowed only two earned runs while striking out three. Removing his horrendous fourth start of the season against St. Louis, Ross has allowed only three combined earned runs in his four other starts, including Tuesday. Tuesday's blemish came when Ross was facing the Braves the third time through the order when Ronald Acuna Jr. took him deep. Ozzie Albies then singled and Ross was pulled, with Tanner Rainey ultimately allowing his inherited runner to score. That said, the secondary numbers for Ross are concerning, as he entered this start with an 87 ERA+ and 5.74 FIP. Still, Ross is someone fantasy managers need to roster moving forward. Yes, the implosion possibility is real, but so are quality starts like this one.

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin will get the start on Saturday against the Marlins, while Joe Ross will likely start Tuesday's game against the Braves, according to Maria Torres of The Athletic. The Nationals have had to make some changes to their rotation schedule following the activation of Jon Lester from the COVID-19 injured list, as he will start the opener with Miami on Friday night. Corbin has struggled in four starts this year, going 0-3 with a 10.47 ERA and 17.1 percent strikeout rate over 16 1/3 innings, while Ross is 2-1 with a 4.64 ERA and 20.5 percent strikeout rate. Neither matchup is great for fantasy, so managers can go ahead and ignore them for this turn through the rotation.

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross is off to a hot start in 2021, throwing six shutout innings in his second start of the year Wednesday. He allowed just four hits and a walk with five strikeouts on 89 pitches, nine of which produced swinging strikes as Ross hit 94 mph with the sinker. Ross has now thrown 11 scoreless innings to start the season. His next start looks to be Monday against the Cardinals again and he has become someone to look to pick up in deeper leagues if you need starting pitching.
