Hoffman (4-0) allowed a single run on four hits and a walk while striking out eight batters over 6.1 innings during Saturday's win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
This was just the fifth appearance and fourth start of the season for Hoffman, and he's allowed only seven runs through 27 innings for a sterling 2.33 ERA and 0.74 WHIP with 34 strikeouts and just three walks. The 2014 first-round pick has certainly pitched well enough to stick in the rotation, and his fantasy value is trending up. It's also worth noting that the wind was howling out at Wrigley Field on Saturday, so dominating the defending champions was all the more impressive. A date with the pedestrian Giants at Coors Field is up next if Hoffman sticks in the rotation for another turn.
