| Marquis hits designated trail: Minnesota starting pitcher Jason Marquis was designated for assignment on Tuesday, ending a brief rocky tenure with the Twins. Marquis (2-4) was reportedly on the way out after surrendering a season-high eight runs in less than two innings during a loss at Milwaukee on Sunday. It was his fourth consecutive loss after starting the season 2-0 and raised his ERA to 8.47. "We gave him every opportunity. It just wasnt working out," general manager Terry Ryan said. The Twins promoted starting pitcher Cole DeVries from Triple-A Rochester to take his place in the rotation. (Updated 05/22/2012) |

| Fantasy Analysis |
| After 12 seasons in the National League, Marquis received a rude welcome from the American League's deeper offenses and permitted nearly a run per inning in seven starts. The right-hander struggled to locate his pitches and recorded 14 walks to just 12 strikeouts over 34 innings. When he did find the strike zone, hitters took advantage and belted nine homers and carried a .371 batting average off of him. Marquis yielded 11 homers in 23 starts last year. He should generate some interest from other teams, but is not a reliable Fantasy option for now. (Updated 05/22/2012). |
