Jeremy Hefner was tagged with four runs in four innings Saturday in a loss to the Cubs.

Hefner tossed three scoreless frames before he gave up four runs in his final inning of work. The big blow as a two-run double by opposing pitcher Scott Feldman. Hefner had been pitching better recently, but the poor outing pulls his ERA back to 5.00 for the year. He shouldn't be an option outside of deeper NL-only leagues.

Jeremy Hefner allowed four runs in six innings as the Mets lost to the White Sox on Wednesday.

Hefner is now 0-4 on the year, but he hasn't been as bad as his record would indicate. The right-hander now owns a 4.63 ERA despite having a 3.00 ERA over his last three starts. He's still best left for NL-only leagues. He'll likely get two starts next week, with the first coming Monday against the Cardinals.

Jeremy Hefner suffered a tough-luck loss Tuesday against the Marlins, striking out eight while allowing two runs -- one earned -- over eight frames.

He gave up just four hits -- all singles -- and didn't walk a batter. Hefner allowed a leadoff single to Chris Coghlan to start the ninth in what was at the time a 1-0 game. After a passed ball, Coghlan was sacrificed to third but got lucky when he wasn't called out after oversliding the bag. Brandon Lyon then replace Hefner and failed to retire a batter. Obviously you must consider the competition, but Hefner has now put up two straight nice outings and boasts a 1.21 WHIP for the year. He'll face the White Sox next week.
