Latest on these two pitchers from Rotoworld:
Feldman allowed four earned runs, eight hits and two walks while striking out six batters over five innings in a loss at San Diego on Tuesday. Feldman threw 55 of his 92 pitches for strikes while also posting a wild pitch. He was unable to build upon the momentum of his last start when he allowed four hits and no walks over seven scoreless frames against the Cardinals. The veteran has been shaky away from GABP, posting a 1-2 record with a 9.24 ERA over his past three road outings. His next scheduled start is tentatively set for June 19 at Tampa Bay.
Roark was roughed up again Monday, surrendering six runs in 2 2/3 innings against the Marlins. Roark allowed seven runs last time out against the Braves, so his ERA has suddenly gone from 3.87 to 4.88 in the course of a week. There hasn’t been an injury brought up, so he’ll probably get this figured out. He never seemed likely to match his 2016 performance, though.
