Jason Berken, who is replacing Jeff Samardzija in the Cubs' rotation, will make his first start next Saturday against the Pirates. The 28-year-old righty appeared in one game for the Orioles earlier this season, allowing a whopping seven runs (two earned) on six hits in one inning of work. He owns a career 5.40 ERA and 1.66 WHIP over 230 MLB innings and should be avoided in all fantasy formats.
