Yovani Gallardo suffers another loss

Yovani Gallardo (5-10) was credited with the loss on Saturday after surrendering four runs on four hits over 5.2 innings in Seattle's 6-3 defeat to the Yankees. He walked five and struck out four.

Fantasy Implications: Another start for Gallardo, and another subpar performance. The veteran right-hander continues to struggle as a starter, allowing opponents to hit an ugly .285/.356/.494 against him. On the other hand, Gallardo did prove to be quite effective as a member of the bullpen earlier this summer, curbing hitters to a trifling .132/.233/.237 slash line over 11.1 innings in four appearances. It would not be surprising to see Gallardo removed from the rotation to the bullpen once James Paxton and Felix Hernandez are reinstated from the disabled list. Nor would it be surprising if fantasy owners have not already removed Gallardo from their rotations either.
