Hunter Brown To Make His Next Start Sunday
Hunter Brown is lined up to make his next start this Sunday against the Seattle Mariners. Brown picked up a win on Tuesday over the Miami Marlins after throwing two innings out of the bullpen, and now he'll make his next start this weekend. The 24-year-old struggled in his last start on Aug. 10 against the Baltimore Orioles, allowing five earned runs in six innings, but he also fanned seven and walked none in that outing. Overall, Brown has been pretty solid in his first full season as a starter in the big leagues, going 9-8 with a 4.16 ERA (3.93 FIP), 1.28 WHIP, 39 walks and 138 strikeouts covering 125 1/3 innings over his 23 outings (22 starts). Lock him back into starting fantasy lineups this weekend against the M's.

Hunter Brown Hurls Gem Monday

He has quality starts in each of his five outings and has been able to limit hard contact while generating a solid amount of whiffs this season. His fantasy managers should be excited about his potential, even if his numbers will likely regress slightly. He is a must-start pitcher in every format.
