Newcomb allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five batters through five innings during Thursday's win over Miami. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie entered Thursday's start with a rock-solid 3.83 ERA and 10.2 K/9 through his past eight outings, so this was a solid follow up. Free passes continue to be the biggest hindrance to Newcomb's fantasy value, as he sports a 5.3 BB/9 for the campaign. Still, with a string of consistently strong outings, Newcomb's stock remains on the rise. He lines up to face Washington at Nationals Park in his next start.
