Paul Blackburn News
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.
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Paul Blackburn (finger) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Monday. The right-hander missed the first two months of the regular season due to a right thumbnail injury he suffered in spring training. He posted a 4.28 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, with 89 strikeouts over 111.1 innings last season. Blackburn is set to take the ball versus the Atlanta Braves on Monday. He's not going to be a favorable streaming option against the tough Braves lineup.
