From Rotoworld: Worley surrendered five earned runs over just 3 2/3 innings Sunday in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks. It was an ugly outing, but the Marlins offense put up six runs and Miami went on to win the game 6-5. Worley allowed six hits and issued three walks. He has a 6.59 ERA in three starts and one relief appearance.
Glasnow allowed four earned runs, five hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings in a road loss against the Mets on Saturday. Glasnow struggled with his command and location, posting just 49 strikes on 89 pitches. He’ll be happy if he doesn’t see the Mets again this season, as he is 0-2 with an 8.10 ERA in two starts. Of course, he hasn’t exactly lit the world afire against other teams, either.
