Yesterday's Studs and Duds: Fantasy Baseball Recap from 5/13/16

Every day, we will be taking a quick look at the best and worst fantasy baseball performers from yesterday's games. On Friday we learned that it doesn't take a big ballpark to pitch a big game.

Here's a quick look at those who impressed on Friday, and those who want to pretend the day never happened.

Editor’s Note: to read about even more waiver wire options, be sure to check out our famous waiver wire pickups list which is a running list that is updated daily. Prefer using your phone? Our free waiver wire app is available for download in the Apple Store.

 

Studs from 5/13/16

Byung Ho Park (DH, MIN): Park hit two homers and drove in three as part of a three-homer attack against Josh Tomlin. Park holds a .582 slugging percentage over 29 games this season.

Justin Verlander (SP, DET): Verlander may not feel like much of a stud after being saddled with the dreaded complete game-loss, but owners will certainly take the eight strikeouts over eight innings at Camden Yards. Verlander has now allowed just one run and struck out 17 over his last 15 innings (two starts).

Chris Tillman (SP, BAL): Tillman extended his dominant run on the other side of the aisle, throwing seven shutout innings while striking out seven. Tillman has now struck out a remarkable 32 batters in his last four starts.

Chris Sale (SP, CWS): Sale tossed a complete game at Yankee Stadium. He has has not allowed more than two runs in any of his last six starts, and has two complete games over that span.

R.A. Dickey (SP, TOR): Dickey threw eight scoreless innings while striking out six Rangers. He has now cobbled together three nice starts in a row to lower his ERA to 4.31.

Andrew McCutchen (OF, PIT): McCutchen doubled, homered and drove in two in a loss to the Cubs. He now has 12 hits in his last seven games.

David Ross (C, CHC): Ross has certainly made the most of his playing time with Miguel Montero on the disabled list. The veteran backstop went 3-for-4 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored.

George Springer (OF, HOU): Springer notched a homer, a double and four RBI in a win over the Red Sox. He now has six hits and five RBI in his last three games.

Danny Valencia (3B, OAK): Valencia notched his first two homers of the season in a win over the Rays. The 31-year-old is in the middle of an eight-game hitting streak, having tallied 11 knocks over that span.

Joe Panik (2B, SF): Panik homered and drove in three runs in a win over the Diamondbacks. It was the second homer in as many nights for Panik, who now has five on the season.

Yasiel Puig (OF, LAD): Puig hit his first homer in 10 days as part of a three-hit night against the Cardinals. The Cuban export is still looking for consistency early in the season, as he is slugging just .397 over 35 games.

Duds from 5/13/16

Justin Upton (OF, DET): Upton is playing like he wants to make the dud list his permanent residence. He is now sporting a miserable .564 OPS after an 0-for-4 performance with three strikeouts against the Orioles.

Coco Crisp (OF, OAK): Crisp will make it to the naughty corner after taking an 0-for-5 collar against the Rays. Crisp is hitting just.223 after failing to collect a hit in his last nine at-bats.

Josh Donaldson (OF, TOR): No one is safe from the wrath of the list. Donaldson took a disappointing 0-for-5 despite starting the game against shaky lefty Martin Perez. While he is still hitting well, Donaldson hasn't left the yard since May 1st.

Francisco Liriano (SP, PIT): Liriano got torched by a tough Cubs lineup, allowing eight runs (three home runs) while walking four in just 4.2 innings. Liriano now sports a 4.99 ERA over seven starts.

Luis Severino (SP, NYY): Remember how excited we all were at the prospect of Severino's first full year in the rotation? His ERA stands at 7.46 after allowing seven runs over 2.2 innings against the White Sox. Yuck. Severino had to be removed from the contest because of a right triceps strain. He was placed on the 15-day DL.

Steven Wright (SP, BOS): Wright tasted his first bit of failure in the outing against the Astros, allowing five earned runs in 4.1 innings. His ERA is now a bloated 2.36 over 7 starts.

Lance McCullers (SP, HOU): McCullers had a tough assignment against the Red Sox for his first start of the season, allowing five runs in 4.2 innings. McCullers will likely need time to adjust after recovering from a shoulder injury, but could be a nice source of strikeouts going forward.

Jake Odorizzi (SP, TB): Odorizzi had what was supposed to be a fairly comfortable matchup against the A's, but wound up allowing five runs over four innings.

Matt Harvey (SP, NYM): Harvey allowed 11 hits in just 5.2 innings against the Rockies. He left the game with five runs on his ledger. Anyone can struggle at Coors Field, but Harvey has notched an ERA approaching 5.00 this season.

An honorable mention to the entire offense of the Brewers, who let Christian Friedrich escape allowing just one run over six innings despite walking six and striking out four. Come on, guys.
