Jake Diekman Whiffs Three In Outing Versus Rangers

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Jake Diekman struck out the side while allowing one hit in his appearance against the Rangers on Thursday. The left-hander has been one of the better non-closers to roster in fantasy, as he's got a 3.13 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP while collecting the occasional save. Where Diekman really stands out, […]

[…]
