Edinson Volquez allowed five runs over five innings in the Padres' loss to the Nationals on Thursday.

Volquez walked four and struck out seven. After struggling mightily through his first three starts of the season, Volquez posted a 2.59 ERA over his last five entering Thursday. Perhaps he was due for a stinker. He's no better than a matchup play in standard formats. Next week's outing against the Cardinals doesn't look attractive in that regard.

Edinson Volquez turned in another strong outing in Friday's no-decision against the Rays, allowing two runs on three hits over six frames.

Volquez walked four and struck out three in the game. He departed with a 3-2 lead and in line to earn his fourth victory, but the Friars bullpen was unable to hold on for him. After struggling mightily through his first three starts on the season, Volquez has posted a 2.59 ERA over his last five starts. He remains a decent matchup play when skimming his home starts and looks like an attractive option against the Nationals at home on Thursday.

Edinson Volquez allowed four runs in 5 2/3 innings in the Padres' win over the Cubs on Tuesday.

Despite the win, Volquez was underwhelming in giving up seven hits and three walks to Cubs batters. Such is life as Edinson Volquez. The right-hander had turned in two strong starts previously, making him a frustrating and confusing player to own. He's an enter-at-your-own-risk proposition outside of NL-only leagues. He'll get the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

He had three previous starts with no walks, but they were of three, five and six innings and he took losses in all of them. Volquez has now turned in consecutive quality starts after opening the season 0-3 with an 11.68 ERA.

Edinson Volquez held the Giants to two runs in six innings Friday as part of a no-decision.

It's progress for Volquez, who allowed at least four runs in each of his first three starts. While he was handed a no-decision, his ERA dropped from 11.68 to 8.84. Still, he only struck out three batters and allowed eight hits and three walks. He also uncorked two wild pitches. He'll face the Brewers in Milwaukee next Wednesday, but fantasy owners should only consider using him in certain matchups at home.
