Hellickson tossed five innings and allowed one earned run on six hits and one walk while striking out one to beat the Reds 4-3 on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hellickson's improvements in both walk and strikeout rates in 2016 have transferred over to his first start of the 2017 season. The soon-to-be 30-year-old has never been much of a strikeout guy though (career 6.81 K/9), but he'll be valuable as a back-end fantasy starter in deeper leagues based on matchups.
