Glenn Sparkman News
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Glenn Sparkman struggled mightily once again, lasting just four innings in the loss to the Tigers on Thursday. Sparkman allowed four earned runs on seven hits, three of which were home runs. He only struck out two, but he didn't walk anyone. This makes three straight outings where Sparkman has failed to complete five innings, and he's allowed four or more runs in 10 of his last 13 starts. He tosses a quality start or two once in a while to lure owners in, but fantasy owners should absolutely not go for this ride. He's scheduled to face the White Sox next, but there have to be better options in all leagues.
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Glenn Sparkman took another loss on Thursday when he was lit up for seven earned runs in just 4 1/3 innings. Sparkman allowed nine hits in the short span, and he only struck out one. His record now moves to 3-10, his ERA has risen to 5.86, and he's striking out less than six batters per nine innings. Even his recent pair of quality starts a couple weeks ago featured sub-par strikeout rates. He should not be owned in any fantasy leagues, and only the most desperate owners should turn to him in a time of need for streaming. He's theoretically slated to face the Tigers in his next turn, but September call-ups may change that.
Kansas City Royals pitcher Glenn Sparkman was tasked with going six innings against the Nationals on Saturday to give the bullpen some rest, and he did his job. He allowed four earned runs in six innings to take the loss, but at least he didn't get lit up like last time he went out there. Unfortunately, a journeyman doing a mediocre job in a loss doesn't make the highlight reels. Allowing Max Scherzer to steal the second base of his career does. Sparkman's inattention to Scherzer allowed the opposing pitcher to swipe second standing up, though he would get stranded. Sparkman is of zero interest in the fantasy community since he strikes out a pitiful 4.76 batters per nine innings and carries an ERA north of 5.00. No one should be starting him against anyone unless they are utterly desperate.
