Paul Blackburn News
Oakland Athletics starter Paul Blackburn allowed six runs on seven hits in four innings of work during Sunday's 7-6 win over the Baltimore Orioles. He struck out five batters while issuing one walk. The long ball killed Blackburn in this one as he gave up three home runs in the contest. The 30-year-old started the season with three straight scoreless outings and garnered streaming appeal in the process, but he has now given up 13 runs over his last three appearances. Blackburn will face the Miami Marlins in his next projected start, which is an appealing matchup, but he is tough to trust right now.
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Paul Blackburn (illness) won't play against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. The 29-year-old isn't feeling well. However, an official diagnosis hasn't been made public, so it's anyone's guess if he'll miss any more time moving ahead. In the meantime, Austin Pruitt will take Blackburn's spot on the bump. The right-hander is 1-5 with a 2.93 ERA in 23 games this season, meaning he's not worth considering for any fantasy lineup, even for those desperate for an arm.
Oakland A's pitcher Paul Blackburn will look to keep up his solid work in a small sample this season on Wednesday versus the Cleveland Guardians. The right-hander has made just four starts this season but has worked to a 3.48 ERA/3.84 SIERA along with a career-best 18.7% K-BB% across 20 2/3 innings of work. The former first-round pick has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his four starts with his lone blemish coming on June 4 against the Marlins when he yielded five earned runs in five innings of work. Wins will be tough to come by on a weak A's club but a notable increase in strikeout rate combined with solid run prevention and peripherals certainly puts Blackburn on the fantasy radar in deeper leagues.
