RecapFantasy impact
The Cubs starter has made a mid-season adjustment to his delivery after opponents began reading his sequences.
Shota Imanaga has adjusted his mechanics to stop tipping his pitches, per recent reporting on league trends. The Cubs starter is 3 years into his MLB tenure and has posted a 3.15 ERA across six starts this season, with 38 strikeouts over 34.1 innings.
The adjustment arrives as the stretch run intensifies and roster moves take hold across the league. Imanaga's ability to keep hitters off-balance through the final two months could factor into Chicago's late-season rotation stability.
