The following article is from our friends at Fantasy Furnace...

1. Shawn Kelley-RP-Yankees :NYY:- Here is our "Special K" of the week! This former Mariner had an awful 2-game stretch in his 3rd and 4th appearance back in the beginning of April, giving up 6 earned runs vs Cleveland and Detroit. By April 8th Kelley's ERA had ballooned to an unseemly 10.12. It has since dropped almost in half as he has let his K's do the talking for him.

Gaudin is staying on as the Giants' fifth starter while Ryan Vogelsong continues his DL stint. He'll face the Diamondbacks this weekend and could be a...
