Chicago Cubs

Garza held the Pirates scoreless over five innings in his first appearance since recovering from a lat injury and a stress reaction in his elbow last season. He allowed just one hit, a single, while walking three batters. He threw 48 of his 82 pitches for strikes, while striking out five batters.

Garza did not allow his first hit until one out in the fifth inning, and he was taken out after finish the fifth inning with 82 pitches, as he was expected to be limited to just 90 pitches in the game.

Unfortunately, the 3-0 lead Garza left the game with would not hold up, thanks to the struggles of the bullpen, which allowed five runs in just the sixth inning.

Garza is set to make his next start in Cincinnati on Sunday. 

Feldman is utilizing the same four-pitch mix he's always used. Aside from throwing his changeup less, Feldman's using most of his pitches at the same rate. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as Feldman has been fairly effective the past two years. Although he had a 5.09 ERA last year, his 3.98 FIP was a much better indicator on how he should have performed. He had an equally strong 3.99 FIP in 32 innings in 2011. 

Feldman is certainly pitching over his head, but could still post a solid ERA once regression hits. The bigger issue for Fantasy owners is whether he'll do enough to remain on teams once his ERA starts to rise. Feldman isn't a strong strikeout pitcher, and won't get Fantasy teams many points in that area. He could be a sell-high. Feldman will take on the Reds Friday.

Rizzo went 2 for 4 with a solo home run in the fifth inning. He added a run scored and didn't strike out for the ninth game in a row.

 Rizzo is batting .282, including .369 in May. 

DeJesus has been a much better hitter against righties over his career. In 3,157 at-bats, DeJesus has a .293/.368/.453 line against right-handers. DeJesus has continued that success and is hitting .314/.382/.559 in 118 at-bats against righties this year.

Although a platoon isn't ideal for Fantasy owners, DeJesus is in the better half of a platoon situation. He should see a fair amount of playing time against right-handers, and that should keep him in the lineup fairly often.

Schierholtz's solo home run came in the eighth inning of a 5-0 game. He also had a single and scored twice. Schierholtz finished 2 for 4 and is batting .286.
