From Rotoworld: Ryu surrendered two runs on five hits over five innings while taking a no-decision in Thursday’s win over the Mets. Ryu struck out three and walked two on the evening. Both runs on his line scored via solo homers, with Curtis Granderson burning Ryu in the first inning and Travis d’Arnaud doing likewise in the fourth. He will carry a 4.30 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 61/21 K/BB ratio (67 innings) into a home start against the Angels next time he toes the rubber.
Meyer lasted just 3 1/3 innings and gave up five runs in a loss to the Red Sox on Friday. Meyer gave up three runs in a 38-pitch first inning before allowing a two-run homer to Hanley Ramirez in the fourth. All told, he gave up five hits and two walks while throwing three wild pitches. He threw first-pitch strikes to just nine of the 17 batters he faced. The 27-year-old continues to show flashes of potential, but he’s far too erratic to trust in mixed fantasy leagues right now. He’ll bring a 4.20 ERA into a start against the Dodgers next week.
