When the Arizona Diamondbacks inked left-hander Madison Bumgarner to an $85 million deal during the off-season, the expectation was that he would anchor the starting staff. Through his first three games, Bumgarner has been hit, and hit hard, posting a 7.55 xERA, with a .630 xSLG that puts him in the bottom eight percent of pitchers in the Majors. The sample size is small, but the 1.83 K/BB ratio that he has produced would be far and away the worst mark of his career. But maybe most pressing is the fact that the four-seam fastball that averaged 91.4 MPH in 2019 has nosedived down to 87.9 MPH this year. Bumgarner’s track record buys him considerable leeway, with his next start coming Sunday at pitcher-friendly Petco Park, where he owns a career 3.99 ERA.--Jesse Borek

The Arizona Diamondbacks designated left-hander Madison Bumgarner for assignment on Thursday after four ugly starts to open the 2023 campaign, according to sources. Bumgarner has a 10.26 ERA in his four starts this year and entered the season still owed $37 million on his five-year, $85 million deal that he signed before the 2020 season. The 33-year-old veteran southpaw just hasn't had it early on this year, as he's allowed 20 runs (19 earned) on 25 hits (four home runs surrendered) while walking 15 and striking out 10 in 16 2/3 innings over his four starts. This will effectively end his time with Arizona, and he'll be on the open market shortly after passing through waivers. A change of scenery could help MadBum, but fantasy managers shouldn't bet on it.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner is off to a horrendous beginning to the season. The left-hander was torched for seven runs over three innings of work during Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He holds a 10.26 ERA, 2.40 WHIP and 10/15 K/BB ratio across four starts this season. Following Wednesday's game, manager Torey Lovullo said he isn't committing to Bumgarner making his next start. He continued by saying that he'll need to talk it over before making a decision. The 33-year-old might find his way into the bullpen if things don't start getting better for him on the mound.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner had another ugly performance on Friday in the loss to the Miami Marlins. The lefty was on the hill for the third time this season. However, things weren't any different, with Bumgarner allowing nine hits and five earned runs through five innings. He now sits on a rough 0-2 record and a miserable 7.90 ERA (13 2/3 innings). That said, Bumgarner has likely found his way off fantasy rosters, which will remain the trend until he turns things around.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Madison Bumgarner (arm) said his left arm feels better and he's thrown since returning to Phoenix. He expected to make his next scheduled start on Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Bumgarner dealt with fatigue in his first start of the year and thinks he just overdid his throwing in the week prior to the start. The 33-year-old allowed five runs on four hits while walking four in four innings against the Dodgers in his season debut last Saturday. He doesn't have any structural damage in his arm, though, so he won't need a trip to the injured list. Fantasy managers should be extremely wary of using MadBum in a rematch with a potent Dodgers lineup.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
