Justus Sheffield Stats

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield had a rough go of it Thursday against the Detroit Tigers, allowing five runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk with three strikeouts in four innings. The defense did him no favors, but even so every bit of contact the Tigers made seemed to be hard. Of 18 batted balls, the average exit velocity off Sheffield was 95.2 MPH, representing the most hard-hit outing of his career. With a 4.91 ERA and 1.59 WHIP, it's hard to justify holding Sheffield on fantasy rosters.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield earned his fifth win of the season Thursday night, throwing 5 2/3 innings and allowing two runs on six hits and three walks with seven strikeouts against the Angels. The seven punchouts were a season-high for the left-hander, who has only set down 42 batters on strikes in 54 2/3 innings this year. If Sheffield can keep that up and limit walks, he could become a solid fantasy asset, but for now he belongs on the waiver wire despite the strong outing.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield had a solid outing Friday night against the Texas Rangers, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks to collect his fourth win of the year. He only struck out one batter. Despite being a serviceable major-league starter, it's hard to make much of a case for Sheffield as a fantasy asset, as his 4.96 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, and 35 strikeouts in 49 innings just won't cut it in most formats.
