Hiram Burgos pitched seven innings of two-run ball against the Pirates on Wednesday. Burgos, who struck out six, left with a two-run lead, but that only lasted two batters before evaporating. Burgos has a 3.00 ERA in three starts for the Brewers, but he's also given up three homers in 18 innings. The Rangers may add to that total when they face him next week.

Hiram Burgos yielded three runs in six innings Friday in a no-decision against the Dodgers. Burgos allowed four hits and walked two, so his WHIP stayed right at 1.00 after two starts. He's a fringy play in NL-only leagues with the Cardinals next on the slate.

Hiram Burgos held the Cubs to one earned run over five innings Saturday in the Brewers' 5-1 win. It was the 25-year-old right-hander's major league debut and he looked pretty sharp against a light-hitting Cubs lineup. Burgos scattered five hits and allowed no walks, fanning one batter. He has really good minor league numbers and may be worth a flier in deep mixed leagues if the Brewers keep giving him starts.

Brewers prospect right-hander Hiram Burgos will be called up from Triple-A Nashville to start Saturday against the Cubs. It will be his major league debut. Burgos, 25, posted a 1.95 ERA and 153/49 K/BB ratio in 171 innings last season between three different levels in the minors last season. He doesn't throw hard, but gets by with good command and his ability to throw strikes. Those in NL-only leagues should give him a shot.

Brewers optioned RHP Hiram Burgos to Triple-A Nashville. Burgos had a dominant 1.95 ERA and 153/49 K/BB ratio over 171 innings between three different minor league levels this past season, but the Brewers will look to get him more seasoning against advanced competition. The 25-year-old right-hander should make his major league debut in 2013.
