Lamet (2-2) surrendered seven runs (three home runs) while striking out six over five innings in a loss to the Royals on Sunday.
The rookie has fallen back down to Earth in his last two outings after impressing in his first two major-league starts this season. Teams appear to have become more aggressive early in the count against the aggressive starter (56 of 84 pitches for strikes), and it's now Lamet's turn to make the proper adjustments to end his two-game skid. The 24-year-old has the repertoire to be a useful starter in fantasy, but in most formats, it would be wise to let him work out his kinks either on the bench or on the waiver wire.
