Blaine Hardy Activated on Saturday

Detroit Tigers pitcher Blaine Hardy (forearm) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Hardy missed nearly three weeks due to a left forearm strain. He was struggling out of the bullpen this season, but hopefully he can turn it around. Hardy pitched well out of the bullpen and rotation last season, but he's not much of a fantasy option at the moment.

Blaine Hardy Goes On Injured List

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Blaine Hardy was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left forearm strain, club sources announced. Jose Fernandez was recalled from Triple-A Toledo in a subsequent move. Hardy has appeared in 10 games, pitching 10 innings and striking out 10 batters. He's a holds candidate in Detroit, especially given the recent struggles of setup man Joe Jimenez, but his value is limited otherwise.

Blaine Hardy Impressive Out Of Bullpen

Detroit Tigers reliever Blaine Hardy pitched quite well on Monday in a loss to the Yankees. Hardy entered in the sixth inning after Tyson Ross was chased and delivered 1 2/3 innings of perfect ball while striking out two. Hardy was solid out of the bullpen last year for the Tigers, with a 3.56 ERA in 86 innings of work. He's also shown an ability to limit the long ball throughout his career, at a rate of .80 HR/9. He's an obvious holds candidate in Detroit, but who knows how often he'll enter with the lead? The Tigers have managed to score just seven runs all season.

Blaine Hardy Expected to Return as Reliever

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Blaine Hardy (elbow) is expected to return as a relief pitcher when he's activated off the disabled list. He landed on the 10-day DL on August 15 due to left elbow tendinitis. Hardy is expected to return as early as Tuesday, but won't have much fantasy value out of the bullpen. He was worth owning in AL-only leagues, but can be dropped if he's pitching out of the pen.

Blaine Hardy Roughed Up Over Five Innings

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Blaine Hardy did not have his best stuff on Wednesday afternoon against the Los Angeles Angels, taking the loss after allowing five earned runs and seven hits over five innings. He struck out three, walked one, and surrendered home runs to Kole Calhoun, Justin Upton, and Albert Pujols. The disappointing outing moves his record to 4-4 and raises his ERA to 3.63, while his 54/19 K/BB over 74 1/3 innings leaves much to be desired. Hardy's previous two starts had been encouraging, as he allowed just one earned run and five hits to the Athletics and Indians over 12 innings. However, this rough start should be a reminder that Blaine Hardy isn't a long-term starter and should only be trusted in the most favorable of matchups.

Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani Out Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (wrist) and designated hitter Shohei Ohtani are not in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Trout has now been out for a week, but the team is expecting him to return sometime this weekend. Eric Young Jr. is starting in center field again and hitting ninth against Tigers starter Blaine Hardy. Young is hitting only .227 with one home run and four RBI. He's a weak DFS play. Ohtani is taking the day off against a left-hander. He's had a good start to August, hitting .400 (8-for-20) with three home runs and seven RBI. Albert Pujols is the designated hitter and is batting cleanup on Wednesday.

Blaine Hardy To Start Friday

The Detroit Tigers will send reliever-turned-spot-starter Blaine Hardy to the hill on Friday as the team takes on the Oakland Athletics. Hardy has started just 10 games on the year as a fill-in man for a rotation that has seen its share of injuries. With Michael Fulmer (oblique) on the 10-day disabled list, Hardy will get another shot. The 31-year-old lefty has a 3.61 ERA and is 4-3 on the year, but he's taking on an Oakland team that is fifth in the AL with 529 runs scored.

Blaine Hardy Will Start Saturday

Detroit Tigers pitcher Blaine Hardy will toe the rubber on Saturday, making just his 10th start of the season as the Tigers take on Cleveland. Hardy has bounced between the bullpen and the rotation, but has generally been the man called upon for spot-start situations when one of the regular rotation arms goes down. That's the case Saturday, as Francisco Liriano is out with an illness. Hardy has been effective on the season with a 3-3 record and a 3.77 ERA, though he lasted just three innings after allowing four runs in his last start. He's not recommended as a streaming option for this one.

Blaine Hardy Heading Back To Bullpen

Detroit Tigers pitcher Blaine Hardy will move back to the bullpen with the team going to a four-man rotation for the time being with a host of off days coming up. Overall, Hardy has a 3.77 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and just 44 strikeouts in 57 1/3 innings in 19 outings. The swing man has been worse as a starter (4.24 ERA, 6.4 K/9) than as a reliever (1.69 ERA, 9.3 K/9), so he's really not useful at all in fantasy.

Blaine Hardy Struggles In Spot Start

Unsurprisingly, Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Blaine Hardy struggled to contain the potent Boston Red Sox lineup in his spot start on Sunday afternoon. Hardy allowed five hits and four earned runs in just three innings while striking out three and walking no one. He did have a limited pitch count of 50-60 pitches and was pulled in favor of Drew VerHagen after he reached 55 pitches. The Tigers eventually fell to the Red Sox, 9-1. Hardy now holds a 3.77 ERA, and can be avoided for fantasy purposes.
