Bubba Chandler Stumbles on Friday
Bubba Chandler took a step back in his most recent outing on Friday evening against Triple-A Nashville. In this outing, the top pitching prospect in the sport on MLB.com allowed eight hits and five earned runs across 3 2/3 innings. He served up two walks and allowed two home runs. He struck out four hitters. This was a rough showing for Chandler, who had recently begun to turn the corner after a disastrous June. In his first two starts of July, the right-hander tossed 12 shutout innings with a 1.17 WHIP and a 13:4 K:BB. However, in June, Chandler posted an 8.53 ERA with a 2.29 WHIP through 12 2/3 innings. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his development as he could contend for a second-half MLB debut if he can find his footing at Triple-A.
