Peters (0-1) took his first loss in the big leagues Wednesday after allowing three runs on six hits over five innings against the Nationals. He struck out six and walked a pair.
Peters' sterling MLB debut may have raised fantasy owners' hopes, especially in the context of his outstanding career stats in the minors -- including a 1.98 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in his 13 games at Double-A -- but it's worth remembering that the 24-year-old lefty has little high-level experience, including having skipped Triple-A entirely. He also isn't a particularly hard thrower or a prolific strikeout artist, so Peters' success will always hinge on him keeping the ball on the ground and getting some help from his fielders.
