McLean did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing two runs on three hits and four walks over four innings against Atlanta. He struck out six. The right-hander threw just 55 of 93 pitches for strikes as he issued at least three walks for a third consecutive start. McLean has limited the damage during that stretch with a 2.40 ERA, potentially due to the fact that he's given up no homers in that span. The recent control issues have yet to bite the 24-year-old in the run column, but it's likely not a recipe for success long term, especially after he posted a 2.8 BB/9 in his first 11 starts of the year. McLean has a 4.01 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 88:31 K:BB across 76.1 innings this season.

Nolan McLean: Breaking News
Strong start goes to waste
McLean allowed one run on three hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Padres. McLean exited the game with a 2-1 lead, but Austin Warren allowed a two-run home run to Freddy Fermin in the seventh inning. That cost McLean a chance to pick up consecutive wins for the first time this season. After a pair of rough starts in May, McLean has bounced back to allow just two runs over his last 11 innings despite a weak 7:8 K:BB in that span. The right-hander has maintained a 3.98 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 82:27 K:BB through 72.1 innings over 13 starts this season. His 3.4 BB/9 could still use some work, but the strikeout upside more than makes up for it in fantasy. McLean's next start is projected to be at home versus Atlanta, which will be a tough matchup.
Battles control issues in win
McLean (3-4) earned the win against the Marlins on Sunday, allowing one run on two hits and five walks with two strikeouts over five innings. McLean was backed by an offensive outburst from the Mets and managed to complete five frames despite issuing a season-high five walks and hitting a batter. While the result was certainly an improvement over the 13 earned runs he surrendered across his previous two starts, the 24-year-old will still finish May with a 6.10 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in six outings. He'll carry a 4.21 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 77:24 K:BB over 66.1 innings this season into a road matchup against the Padres next weekend.
