Kennedy allowed four runs -- just two earned -- on five hits and a walk while striking out a single batter through 5.2 innings during Sunday's win over Minnesota. He didn't factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old righty posted a 9.57 ERA and 2.01 WHIP through six August starts, so while this was a better outing, it definitely wasn't a standout fantasy showing, either. It's been a discouraging stretch because Kennedy had pitched well for spurts earlier this year. He's still a potential option in the right matchups, but his current form definitely makes him a risky start. Kennedy lines up to face the Twins at Kauffman Stadium next.
