- Jeff Samardzija held the Pirates to one run over seven innings on Wednesday but took the loss.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Samardzija was excellent, fanning eight batters and allowing only three hits and one walk. But he got exactly zero support from the Chicago offense and thus fell to 2-6 on the year. The right-hander has an ace-like 3.25 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 72/22 K/BB ratio in 63 2/3 innings this season and should keep rolling next week against the White Sox.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Gio Gonzalez pitched 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball in a no-decision against the Giants on Wednesday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: The obvious call was to pull Gonzalez after 107 pitches and seven scoreless innings today, but manager Davey Johnson was hoping for more. A one-out walk got Gonzalez pulled in the eighth, and the baserunner came around to score off Drew Storen, tying the game at 1. Gonzalez has allowed just three earned runs over 21 innings in his last three starts, but he has no victories to show for it.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Brandon Maurer allowed seven runs in three innings as the Mariners lost to the Angels on Wednesday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: After two rough outings to start the season, Maurer had been better of late. But he struggled from the outset Wednesday, giving up five runs in the first inning and a run in each of the next two. His next scheduled start is Tuesday against the Padres.
Fri, May 17
- Brandon Maurer turned in a quality start in a no-decision against the Indians on Friday, allowing three runs on five hits over his six frames.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Maurer matched his career-high with six strikeouts in the game, while walking four. Despite the decent start, he owns a putrid 5.75 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 28/14 K/BB ratio on the season, and could be at risk of losing his spot in the M's rotation. He'll take on the Angels in Anaheim on Wednesday, but should be avoided for fantasy purposes.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Jaime Garcia was diagnosed with a 30-40 percent tear of the labrum in his left shoulder.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Dr. James Andrews recommended surgery and reportedly expressed amazement that Garcia pitched as well as he did earlier this season under the circumstances. The Cardinals' team doctor will perform the shoulder procedure. It's safe to say that Garcia will not contribute in a meaningful way for the rest of the 2013 season.

Tue, May 21
- Jaime Garcia will visit Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday for a second opinion on his left shoulder.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Garcia was placed on the disabled list over the weekend with a left shoulder strain and could be facing season-ending surgery. Tyler Lyons will fill his spot in the rotation for now, but the Cardinals are hoping to have Jake Westbrook (elbow) back from the disabled list soon.
More: Jenifer Langosch on Twitter
Sat, May 18
- Cardinals placed LHP Jaime Garcia on the 15-day disabled list with a left shoulder strain.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Garcia has been dealing with shoulder issues for over a year and will visit Dr. James Andrews to try to get some answers. Surgery could ultimately be the course taken. The Cardinals are calling up reliever Mitchell Boggs on Saturday to fill their vacant roster spot but will have to add a new starting pitcher soon. Maybe 2012 first-rounder Michael Wacha will get a chance.
Fri, May 17
- Jaime Garcia got the win Friday night against the Brewers despite giving up six runs in 5 1/3 innings.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Hey, fantasy owners will take it. Garcia allowed six hits and a walk while all the damage was courtesy of a pair of two-run homers by Aramis Ramirez. The southpaw has allowed 11 runs over his last two starts, increasing his ERA from 2.25 to 3.58 on the year. Still, he'll carry a 5-2 record into a start against the Padres next week in San Diego.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Clayton Richard (illness) gave up two runs in six innings Tuesday in his second minor league rehab start with Triple-A Tucson.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Richard, out since May 4 with an intestinal virus, gave up five hits and no walks while striking out four. The southpaw threw 65 out of 94 pitches for strikes. It should be enough for the Padres to activate him from the disabled list.

Wed, May 22Recent News
- Bud Norris (back) expects to make his next scheduled start.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Norris has left each of his last two starts with lower back spasms, but both times his removal was considered precautionary. He received massage treatment Wednesday and thinks "the prevention process of taking care of it now and getting me out of the game will help." Assuming he doesn't have a setback over the next few days, the righty will likely face the Rockies on Monday.
More: Astros.mlb.com
Tue, May 21
- Bud Norris left Tuesday's start against the Royals following six scoreless innings after aggravating his back injury.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Norris was originally supposed to start Sunday after leaving his previous outing with back spasms but was pushed back just in case. Obviously, it appears that he's not over the ailment. The righty gave up just five hits and two walks over six frames before exiting Tuesday. The Astros should provide an update on his status after the game.
More: Brian McTaggart on Twitter
Fri, May 17
- Bud Norris (back) will have his next start pushed back to Tuesday against the Royals.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Norris left Monday's start against the Tigers with back spasms and will get some extra rest. Lucas Harrell will move up in the rotation to start Sunday against the Pirates.

Wed, May 22Recent News
- Jeremy Hellickson pitched a season-high eighth innings and allowed two runs Wednesday against the Blue Jays.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Hellickson left with a one-run lead, but that was blown right away by Fernando Rodney. It was still a nice outing for Hellickson, going down as just his third quality start of the season. He allowed four hits, walked one and struck out four.
Fri, May 17
- Jeremy Hellickson pitched poorly on Friday, but still earned a victory over the Orioles after allowing eight runs on 10 hits over his 7 2/3 innings.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Hellickson struck out four and walked one in the game. After allowing three early runs, Hellickson was on cruise control after the Rays offense bombarded the Orioles with 12 runs through the first six innings. He ran into trouble in the eighth though, where the O's tagged him for four more runs before chasing him from the game. He's been extremely inconsistent on the season and will carry an awful 5.82 ERA into his next start where he'll take on the Blue Jays in Toronto on Wednesday.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Wade Davis allowed three runs over five innings but escaped with a no-decision as the Royals beat the Astros on Tuesday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Davis was fortunate to hold the Astros to just three runs, as he gave up eight hits and four walks on the night. After a strong start to the season, Davis now owns a 5.91 ERA and has won just one start since April 17. Fortunately for Davis, the Royals don't have any better options to replace him in the rotation at this point. His next start will come Sunday against the Angels.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he would be "shocked" if Hiroki Kuroda (calf) was unable to make his next start.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Kuroda's calf tightened up on him an inning after he was hit with a comebacker Wednesday, forcing him to leave the game. But he'll be fine. The right-hander is scheduled to face the Mets early next week.
More: Bryan Hoch on Twitter
Fri, May 17
- Hiroki Kuroda was dominant Friday night against the Blue Jays, giving up two hits over eight shutout innings as part of a 5-0 victory.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Continued excellent from Kuroda, who issued one walk while striking out five. The veteran right-hander has delivered quality starts in each of his last seven outings and now has a 1.99 ERA for the year. He's quietly one of the best pitchers in the American League.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Jason Hammel allowed two runs over 6 2/3 innings as the Orioles beat the Yankees on Wednesday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Hammel was coming off two straight starts in which he didn't last five innings, so Wednesday was a return to form of sorts for the right-hander. Despite an ugly 5.37 ERA, Hammel is now 6-2 through 10 starts. His next turn will come Monday against the Nationals.
Fri, May 17
- Jason Hammel was obliterated in a losing effort against the Rays on Friday, getting torched for seven runs on 10 hits over his 4 2/3 innings of work.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Hammel fanned four and walked two in the disappointing outing. Despite his 5-2 record on the season, Hammel's 5.72 ERA and 1.57 WHIP paint a very different picture on how he's pitched this season. He'll attempt to right the ship when he takes on the Yankees at home on Wednesday.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Jered Weaver (elbow) threw 5 2/3 innings Wednesday afternoon in a start at extended spring training.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Weaver allowed just one run and did not walk a batter while striking out nine. He threw 75 pitches, 62 of which were strikes. The right-hander is likely to rejoin the Angels' starting rotation early next week after missing the past month-plus with a fractured left elbow.
More: Kevin Baxter on Twitter
Tue, May 21
- Angels manager Mike Scioscia said it's possible Jered Weaver (elbow) could be activated after his appearance at extended spring training on Wednesday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: That would put him in line to rejoin the rotation early next week, which would be a little earlier than expected. Weaver is coming back from a fractured left (non-throwing) elbow and appears to be fully healed, so it's all about getting his stamina up at this point. The Los Angeles Times' Bill Shaikin speculates that he could replace Joe Blanton in the rotation.
More: Bill Shaikin on Twitter
Mon, May 20
- Jered Weaver (elbow) is scheduled to pitch in a game at extended spring training on Wednesday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Weaver was hoping to embark on a minor league rehab assignment, but the Angels want him to throw one more time in a controlled environment at their spring training complex in Arizona. He is still on track to return to the Anaheim rotation at some point in early June.
More: Los Angeles Daily News
Fri, May 17
- Jered Weaver (elbow) threw four innings in a simulated game Friday and feels ready for a minor league rehab assignment.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Weaver threw a total of around 80 pitches between the simulated game and his bullpen session. With his extended layoff, he will need 2-3 rehab starts before he's cleared to rejoin the Angels' rotation. He's expected to return in the early part of June.

Wed, May 22Recent News
- Paul Maholm allowed just an unearned run over 7 1/3 innings in defeating the Twins on Wednesday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Unfortunately, Maholm's two bad starts this year were really bad, because he's given up just nine earned runs in the other eight. This is the fourth time he's gone without allowing a single earned run. Overall, he's 6-4 with a 3.38 ERA.
Fri, May 17
- Paul Maholm allowed four runs (two earned) in six innings Friday in a win over the Dodgers.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Maholm was in line for the loss before Justin Upton launched a grand slam in the bottom of the sixth inning. The southpaw gave up eight hits (including a home run) and a walk while notching three strikeouts. While Maholm hasn't been able to match his early dominance, he still makes for a useful mixed in mixed fantasy leagues.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- James Shields allowed just two runs in seven innings but took the loss against the Astros on Wednesday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Shields committed one mistake, a two-run homer by J.D. Martinez, but the Astros pitchers made it stand up to saddle Shields with his fifth loss. He was otherwise stellar, allowing seven hits while striking out seven on the night. Despite the 2-5 record, Shields has been as good as advertised for the Royals this season, now owning a 2.47 ERA with a 0.96 WHIP. He will get the Cardinals next.
Sat, May 18
- James Shields took a complete-game loss after giving up two runs in eight innings Friday against the A's.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Shields struck out nine, matching his season high. Unfortunately, he gave up his fifth and sixth homers of the season. Shields dropped to 2-4 on the season. The Royals have scored a total of five runs in his four losses.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- John Danks (shoulder) will be activated from the disabled list to make his season debut Friday against the Marlins.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: White Sox manager Robin Ventura finally made the decision official on Wednesday night. Danks posted a 3.18 ERA during his four rehab starts, but he also had a 15/13 K/BB ratio and is still dealing with diminished velocity. Mixed leaguers should stay away for now.
More: Scott Merkin on Twitter
Mon, May 20
- John Danks (shoulder) went 4 2/3 innings Saturday in his third minor league rehab start.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: If everything checks out with the left-hander early this week, he should be cleared to join the White Sox starting rotation on Friday night against the Marlins. Danks has been on the shelf all year and makes for a decent waiver stash right now in AL-only fantasy leagues. Since he's coming off shoulder surgery and still rebuilding his arm strength, it might not be wise to trust him right out of the gate in standard mixed formats. Even against Miami.
More: WhiteSox.mlb.com
Fri, May 17
- John Danks (shoulder) could rejoin the White Sox' rotation next weekend.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Danks will make what could be his final rehab start with Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday. The left-hander holds a 3.00 ERA over three rehab outings, but he has a 10/9 K/BB ratio over 18 innings and his velocity remains down. Fantasy owners should take a wait-and-see approach, though he would get a nice first matchup against the Marlins if he returns next weekend.
More: Chicago Sun-Times
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Clay Buchholz moved to 7-0 on Wednesday after holding the White Sox to one run over seven innings.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: The Red Sox won the game 6-2. Buchholz was brilliant yet again, yielding only five hits while fanning four batters. He has a 1.73 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 73/27 K/BB ratio in 72 2/3 total innings this season and should be able to keep the dominance going next week in an interleague matchup against the struggling Phillies.
Fri, May 17
- Clay Buchholz yielded two runs in seven innings Friday in a no-decision against the Twins.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: His only mistake was a two-run homer by Pedro Florimon in the third inning, but it cost him a chance at the victory. Buchholz gave up four hits and three walks in the no-decision and struck out nine batters. While Buchholz is winless over his last three starts, he has a brilliant a 1.78 ERA and 1.04 WHIP to go along with a 69/24 K/BB ratio in 65 2/3 innings. He'll get the White Sox next week.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- John Lannan (quad) is scheduled to face hitters next Wednesday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: It will be the first time he's done so since going on the disabled list. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro said Lannan "is doing very well. He feels good." The left-hander could rejoin the rotation in a few weeks if all goes well.
More: Phillies.mlb.com
Sat, May 18
- John Lannan (quad) threw a bullpen session on Saturday afternoon in Clearwater, Florida.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Lannan will throw off a mound again on Monday and should then progress to simulated games. If all goes well, he will join the Phillies at some point in early June. He's been on the disabled list since April 18 with a quad strain.

Wed, May 22Recent News
- Stephen Strasburg pitched seven innings of one-run ball, striking out seven, in a no-decision against the Giants on Tuesday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Strasburg has allowed just two earned runs in his last three starts, dropping his ERA from 3.45 to 2.66. That overstates how well he's pitched -- he's given up nine unearned runs this season -- but tonight's performance was maybe the most impressive one he's put together this year and should give him something to build on.
Fri, May 17
- Stephen Strasburg gave up two runs -- one earned -- over eight innings as the Nationals vanquished the Padres 6-2 on Thursday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: He walked three and struck out four, hurling 117 pitches before ceding to Rafael Soriano. Strasburg again wasn't at his best -- only 68 of those tosses were strikes -- but he handcuffed San Diego regardless. The 24-year-old right-hander has been considered a fantasy disappointment to this point, despite possessing a 2.83 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 55/18 K/BB rate. If everyone were judged similarly, we'd all be unemployed.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Kevin Slowey left Wednesday's start against the Phillies after the fifth inning with a left lat strain.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: The Marlins are calling him day-to-day, so it's evidently a minor strain. He will be reevaluated on Thursday before it's determined whether he can make his next start. Slowey was pitching well Wednesday before getting hurt, tossing five innings of one-run ball on six hits and no walks while recording six strikeouts.
More: Juan C. Rodriguez on Twitter
Fri, May 17
- Kevin Slowey was knocked around in Friday's loss to the Diamondbacks, surrendering six runs on seven hits in only three innings of work.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Slowey walked one and struck out one in the brief outing. His undoing on this evening was his inability to keep the ball in the yard, as he allowed three home runs, including a pair of two-run shots to Paul Goldschmidt. Despite his 1-4 record, Slowey has actually pitched very well for the Marlins this season, posting a 3.44 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 37/12 K/BB ratio over his first 52 1/3 innings. He'll attempt to get back on track when he takes on the Phillies at home on Wednesday.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Hector Santiago took the loss Wednesday despite allowing just two runs in six innings against the Red Sox.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Santiago did his part, yielding only three hits while striking out nine, but the Chicago offense didn't provide him with very much support. The 25-year-old left-hander could be bumped from the White Sox rotation when John Danks is activated from the disabled list and will hold no further fantasy value if that happens.
Tue, May 21
- Hector Santiago will get the start Wednesday in place of the injured Chris Sale (shoulder).(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Santiago will be starting on short rest, though he lasted just 3 1/3 innings and 80 pitches in his last outing. It could be the left-hander's last start for a while, as he's an option to be bumped from the rotation when John Danks returns.
More: Dan Hayes on Twitter
Sat, May 18
- Hector Santiago lasted only 3 1/3 innings Saturday as the White Sox fell to the Angels.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Santiago cruised through the first three innings but simply lost it in the fourth after yielding a solo home run to Mark Trumbo to lead off the frame. His ERA jumped from 2.23 to 2.78 and his WHIP moved from 1.08 to 1.21. The regression should have been expected. Santiago will try to bounce back next week in an easy outing against the Marlins.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Padres reliever Anthony Bass was charged with four runs in his second inning of work Tuesday against the Cardinals.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Bass was ripped off tonight. The first hitter to reach against him did so on a strikeout/wild pitch. The second had a clean single, but Yadier Molina followed with a double-play ball, only Everth Cabrera vacated second base way too early on the relay and wasn't given credit for the out. With runners on second and third with one out, Bud Black had Bass intentionally walk Jon Jay, and Daniel Descalso followed with a grand slam. That was certainly a mistake for Bass, but he could have been out of the inning before then and he didn't deserve for his ERA to jump from 2.60 to 3.64 tonight.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Hyun-Jin Ryu held the Brewers to two runs in 7 1/3 innings in the Dodgers' 9-2 victory Wednesday.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: It's the seventh time in 10 big-league starts that Ryu has allowed two earned runs or fewer. It's curious that his strikeout rate has dipped of late -- he has just 14 K's in his past four starts combined -- but he has his ERA down to 3.30.
Fri, May 17
- Hyun-Jin Ryu gave up two runs in five innings Friday in a no-decision against the Braves.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: It was the first time that he failed to complete at least six innings. The southpaw really labored, as he gave up five hits and walked a career-high five while striking out five. He threw just 56 out of 100 pitches for strikes. Still, he managed to avoid serious damage. Ryu owns a 3.42 ERA through his first nine starts in the majors and will square off against the Brewers next week in Milwaukee.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Jake Odorizzi's next start has been pushed back to next Monday against the Marlins.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Odorizzi originally lined up to face the Yankees on Sunday, but Alex Cobb will get the call instead. The 23-year-old right-hander gave up three runs in five innings Monday against the Indians and makes for a fine streaming option in mixed leagues now that he has a favorable matchup against Miami.
More: Marc Topkin on Twitter
Mon, May 20
- Jake Odorizzi gave up three runs in five innings in his Rays' debut Monday against the Indians.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Odorizzi allowed two runs in the first inning and one in the second, but he settled down from there and was able to keep the Rays in the ballgame. He gave up five hits and just one walk while striking out six batters. The 23-year-old right-hander is worth a shot in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues while David Price is sidelined, though he has a tough matchup against the Yankees this weekend.
Sun, May 19
- Rays manager Joe Maddon said he planned to have Jake Odorizzi make all of the starts in place of the injured David Price (triceps).(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: It could possibly only be a couple starts, as the Rays are optimistic that Price will not need to miss much time. Odorizzi will make his Rays' debut on Tuesday against the Blue Jays. He's worth a shot in deeper mixed leagues.
More: Roger Mooney on Twitter
Sat, May 18
- The Rays have officially announced that Jake Odorizzi will be Monday's starter against the Blue Jays.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: The move won't be made official until Sunday, but the Rays have confirmed what was suspected since David Price (triceps) went on the disabled list. The Blue Jays are not a very pitcher-friendly opponent, but Odorizzi is talented enough to warrant a roster spot in deeper mixed leagues. The 23-year-old right-hander has a 3.83 ERA and 47/15 K/BB ratio in 44 2/3 innings this season at Triple-A Durham.
More: Marc Topkin on Twitter
Fri, May 17
- Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times hears that prospect right-hander Jake Odorizzi is the most likely option to fill in for David Price (triceps) in the starting rotation.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Alex Torres, Alex Colome, and Chris Archer are also under consideration for the assignment, but Odorizzi has pitched really well so far in Triple-A and lines up perfectly for Monday against the Blue Jays. The 23-year-old is worth grabbing in AL-only leagues.
More: Marc Topkin on Twitter
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Wily Peralta lasted just 1 2/3 innings and gave up six runs -- four earned -- Wednesday in a loss to the Dodgers.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Even Peralta's good outings haven't been anything special, and he's now 3-5 with a 6.45 ERA for the season. The Brewers may think about making a switch to Mike Fiers and sending Peralta down, though they can only go that route if Kyle Lohse proves healthy. Unfortunately, their Triple-A rotation has been awful, so there's no help there.
Fri, May 17
- Wily Peralta was knocked around for seven runs (six earned) over five innings Friday in a loss to the Cardinals.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Peralta gave up five runs in the first inning, the big blow of which was a grand slam by David Freese. He hung in there for another four innings and finished with a season-high six strikeouts, but the damage was already done. With a 5.94 ERA through nine starts, he'll need to show more consistency to be trusted in fantasy leagues.
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Zack Wheeler allowed three runs in five innings Wednesday for Triple-A Las Vegas in his return to action.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Cleared of his recent clavicle issue, it was his first start since May 11. Wheeler threw a total of 67 pitches and allowed five hits and two walks while striking out two. He also hit a batter. Given the long layoff, the results shouldn't be taken too critically. Still, the Mets want to see another solid string of starts before he is called up to the majors. We're still guessing he'll be up in mid-June.
More: Adam Rubin on Twitter
Fri, May 17
- Zack Wheeler was placed on the 7-day disabled list with Triple-A Las Vegas due to his recent clavicle soreness.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: It's just a procedural move, as Wheeler was cleared of any structural damage during a visit with team doctors in New York. The 22-year-old right-hander is scheduled to return to action on May 22 and should be on his way to Queens at some point in June.
More: Adam Rubin on Twitter
Wed, May 22Recent News
- Matt Harvey surrendered four runs and nine hits in 6 1/3 innings Wednesday in a no-decision against the Reds.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Harvey was in line to take his first loss, but the Mets came back to tie it in the seventh before falling in the ninth. It's the first time in 17 starts that Harvey has been charged with more than three runs. The only time in his major league career that it happened was in a loss to the Padres last Aug. 5.
Fri, May 17
- Matt Harvey allowed two runs in 7 1/3 innings Friday to beat the Cubs and move to 5-0.(Rotoworld.com)
Advice: Both runs were earned because Alfonso Soriano was credited with an infield single on his grounder in the first. In reality, that ball should have been an out, which probably would have resulted in just one run scoring in the frame. Harvey ended up striking out six and walking none today. Oddly enough, all six of those strikeouts ended innings.
