Zebby Matthews Strikes Out Five In Latest Start At Triple-A
Zebby Matthews lasted 4 2/3 innings in his latest start on Sunday for Triple-A St. Paul, and although he allowed only two runs and two hits while striking out five, he was uncharacteristically erratic, walking four batters and throwing two wild pitches. The righty had just three walks total over his previous four starts heading into Sunday and owns a pristine 3.2 percent walk rate during his minor-league career. Hopefully the lack of control was a one-game hiccup that he can shake off in his next start. With a 1.93 ERA, a 1.07 WHIP, and a 23.4 percent K-BB%, the 6-foot-5 hurler is once again standing on the doorstep to the majors after making nine starts for the club last season. He's expected to get the call within the next month or so, and although he isn't a must-stash, fantasy managers in deeper leagues should consider him as a waiver-wire pickup whenever he's recalled.
