Command issues and home run regression have cooled the outlook for Zebby Matthews
Zebby Matthews has found the going tough lately, enduring a rough stretch over his last 14 days that includes a 7.06 ERA and a 1.76 WHIP. He remains the fifth starter in the rotation for a third-place Twins squad that currently sits at 48-49. Despite the team’s recent winning ways, Matthews has struggled with command, surrendering six walks over his most recent 10.2 innings of work.
This recent slide aligns more closely with our data than his stronger June performance, as our season projection of a 4.65 ERA suggests he is a back-end rotation filler. Career trends highlight a high home run rate, which continues to cap his upside and threaten his fantasy utility. Until he lowers a walk rate that has recently shown signs of wildness, these volatile outings are likely to persist.
Minnesota travels to face the Cubs this weekend, with the schedule featuring matchups against Colin Rea, Matthew Boyd, and Shota Imanaga. Since Matthews is not currently lined up for a start during this specific three-game window, he offers no immediate value for the remainder of the week. Fantasy managers should monitor the rotation for his next turn but can safely look elsewhere for streaming options in the interim. Sit.
