Lucas Erceg Struggles Again, Losing Fantasy Relevance
Royals right-hander Lucas Erceg endured another rough outing on Saturday against the Rangers, failing to record an out while allowing three runs on five hits, including a home run. The appearance marked his third consecutive outing in which he surrendered multiple runs, continuing a troubling stretch after a strong start to the season. Erceg now owns a 6.33 ERA, 1.92 WHIP, and 18 strikeouts across 21 1/3 innings. The 31-year-old has struggled to replicate the success he enjoyed in 2025, when he posted a 2.64 ERA in 61 appearances. His walk rate has jumped from 7.2 percent last season to 13.3 percent this year, contributing to the decline. While his 4.17 xERA offers some optimism, fantasy managers may want to look elsewhere until he regains consistency.
