Aaron Laffey was knocked around in Thursday's loss to the Yankees, surrendering five runs (four earned) on two hits in his three-plus innings of work.
Laffey also issued five walks while striking out three in the game. The Yankees got on the board with a solo homer from Ichiro Suzuki in the third inning, then added four more before chasing Laffey without recording an out in the fourth inning. He's now failed to make it out of the fifth inning in each of his last three starts, posting a 7.15 ERA and 1.76 WHIP. He'll look for better results when he takes on the Orioles in Baltimore on Tuesday.

Aaron Laffey struggled in a no-decision against the Red Sox on Friday, allowing three runs on four hits over 3 2/3 innings.
Laffey walked three and struck out one in the game. All of the damage against him came in the fourth inning on a three-run blast from Ryan Lavarnway. He'll take a middling 3-5 record and 4.55 ERA into his next start against the Yankees in New York on Thursday.

Aaron Laffey held the Athletics to four earned runs over six innings to earn his third win Sunday.
Laffey struck out four, walked one and gave up six hits. It's his third win in his last four decisions, but that's a hollow number. Laffey has yielded at least four earned runs in four of his last five outings and has given up 15 earned in his last three starts. Streamers should be able to do better.

Aaron Laffey was pounded for seven runs in 4 2/3 innings by the Mariners in Tuesday's loss.
Back-to-back poor outings from Laffey should knock him out of the rotation. The Jays have both J.A. Happ and Brad Lincoln available to step in, but the guess here is that they'll keep Lincoln in the pen for now.

Aaron Laffey pitched a terrific game in Friday's win over the Red Sox, scattering eight hits over seven scoreless innings and striking out four.
Laffey, who has never had sustained success at the Major League level, is now 2-1 with a 2.77 ERA over nine appearances (five starts) for the Jays. He's still just 27-years-old, and quite possibly could finally be coming into his own and remain a strong fantasy asset for the remainder of the season, however that's a very risky proposition to bet on.

Aaron Laffey, making his first start as a member of the Blue Jays rotation, pitched extremely well on Tuesday, scattering three hits over six scoreless innings.
Laffey walked two and struck out two in the game. With the plethora of devastating injuries the Jays have incurred in their rotation, having someone like Laffey step up and fill an open spot would be a tremendous boost. While he has never had prolonged success as a major league starter, he has likely shown enough to stick in the rotation for at least a few starts, the next of which will come against the Angels at home on Sunday.

Aaron Laffey will start Tuesday against the Red Sox.
Laffey has primarily pitched as a starter in the minors this year, but he hasn't made a start on the major league level since 2010 as a member of the Indians. Those in fantasy leagues can steer clear.
