Ronel Blanco delivers strong eight-strikeout return as a two-start streaming option
Ronel Blanco made his long-awaited return to the mound recently, striking out eight batters across 4.2 innings while allowing four runs. The Astros currently sit in third place in the AL West with a 50-54 record. Despite several depth rotation options currently on the injured list, Blanco slots back into the active starting mix following his strong minor league recovery timeline.
His latest outing featured an impressive 18 whiffs and a high strikeout rate that matches the strikeout upside he displayed during his breakout 2024 campaign. While he surrendered two home runs in his first action back, his underlying pitch metrics and seasonal projection of 100 strikeouts indicate that his ability to rack up punchouts remains entirely sustainable.
Blanco lines up as a two-start pitcher for the week, facing off against the White Sox and opposing Erick Fedde, who holds a 4.27 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP. With a favorable matchup against a struggling Chicago squad and solid volume expected, Blanco is an appealing play. Two-Start Stream.
