Dan Haren SP WAS 20 Hrs
Dan Haren gave up four runs and seven hits in six innings Monday in a no-decision against the Phillies.
Haren struck out 10 Phillies last time he faced them on May 25. Tonight, he managed just three strikeouts, which is closer to his norm for the season. He's giving up too many homers, he's not working deep into games and he's not getting much support from the offense. Until something there changes, he'll remains pretty much worthless in fantasy leagues.

Dan Haren lasted only four innings on Wednesday, allowing five runs as the Nationals fell to the Mets.
Haren has taken some tough losses of late, but this one was deserved. The right-hander served up three home runs, including two to Marlon Byrd, in his four innings and gave up seven hits in all. The loss dropped him to 4-7 and raised his ERA to 5.45 through 12 starts. His next start will come Tuesday against the Rockies in Colorado.

Dan Haren yielded three earned runs over six innings Saturday as the Nationals fell to the Phillies.
Haren racked up a whopping 10 strikeouts and allowed only four hits, but two of them were home runs. He has looked good at times this season, but the consistency has not been there. Haren will take a 4-5 record, 5.43 ERA and 1.37 WHIP into his next start against the Orioles.

Dan Haren was pulled in the fifth inning after giving up seven runs Sunday in a loss to the Padres.
Haren suffered an ankle injury during his last start and may not be completely healthy. He allowed three runs in the first inning and was victimized by a pair of home runs to Will Venable and Kyle Blanks. Haren is in position to bounce back with a matchup against the Phillies next week.

Dan Haren limited the Braves to one run and four hits over eight innings to win on Thursday night.
A Dan Uggla homer was the only damage as Haren outdueled Kris Medlen in the 3-1 game. Haren has allowed six runs in 19 innings over his last three starts after giving up 16 runs -- 12 earned -- in 13 1/3 innings in his first three.

Dan Haren delivered his best start of the season Saturday, allowing two runs in six innings in a 6-3 win over the Reds.
A nice step forward for Haren, who had failed to pitch more than five innings in his previous four starts. He gave up six hits (including a home run) while striking out five and walking none. Haren owes an assist to Denard Span, who robbed Joey Votto of extra bases with a leaping catch at the wall in the sixth inning. While it was an encouraging outing, we wouldn't trust him in fantasy leagues with a matchup against the homer-happy Braves next week.

Dan Haren lost to the Cardinals after allowing three runs in five innings on Monday night.
Haren has yet to deliver a quality start in four trips to the mound. At least in his first three starts, he had a 12/1 K/BB ratio. Tonight, he struck out three, walked three and hit a batter. A quick turnaround hardly appears likely.

Dan Haren allowed seven runs -- three earned -- in 4 1/3 innings Tuesday as the Nationals fell to the Marlins.
Haren didn't get much help from his defense but also looked far too hittable. The 32-year-old right-hander is now sporting a hideous 8.13 ERA, 2.03 WHIP and 12/1 K/BB ratio over his first 13 1/3 innings with the Nationals. Bench him for now in fantasy leagues.

Dan Haren won Thursday despite allowing three runs and 10 hits in five innings against the White Sox.
At least Haren didn't give up any homers tonight. He got some help there from a nice breeze blowing in from center. He ended up striking out five and walking none. He's not the Dan Haren of old, but given that he's on such a good team and his tiny walk rate will result in a solid WHIP, no one should be thinking of dropping him in mixed leagues.

Dan Haren was smoked for six runs on four home runs over four innings in a loss to the Reds on Friday night.
Haren's spring training struggles have now crossed over to the regular season. While the veteran right-hander has always given up his fair share of fly balls -- a poor fit in Great American Ball Park -- he appeared way too hittable in this one. It's going to be tough to trust him in standard mixed leagues until he proves that he's healthy.
