Tim Stauffer yielded allowed nine earned runs over three innings Saturday in a loss to the Reds. Yikes. Stauffer was also shaky in his last outing and may be showing signs of fatigue here in mid-August. It's probably time to try selling high on the 29-year-old right-hander, who has a rising 3.53 ERA and 1.26 WHIP.

Tim Stauffer scattered six hits in 6 1/3 innings of work on Wednesday, improving to 7-8 in San Diego's 3-0 win in Los Angeles. He struck out two and walked one. The quality start was his 10th in 11 outings, and lowers his ERA back below 3.00 to 2.96. The owner of a 1.24 WHIP and 104/39 K/BB ratio, Stauffer's next start should come on Tuesday in New York.

Stauffer struck out five in falling to 6-7 on the year. The non-quality start was his first in nine outings, and just his sixth in 21 starts this season. The owner of a 3.05 ERA and 1.24 WHIP, he'll get the Rockies at home next Friday.

Tim Stauffer allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and five walks in six innings of San Diego's 4-1 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday. He struck out one. Although today was technically Stauffer's seventh straight quality start, it's hard to get a win when you issue five free passes.

Stauffer has allowed six earned runs over 42 innings in his last six starts, a stretch that's taken his ERA from 3.99 down to 2.97.

Tim Stauffer worked seven innings and allowed just one run and four hits Wednesday in a victory over the Royals. Stauffer has allowed four runs over 36 innings in his last five starts, a stretch that's taken his ERA from 3.99 down to 2.97. While it's the Padres relievers that teams figure to target for the most part, a few clubs are sure to check in on whether Stauffer might be available. He's taking advantage of Petco, for sure, but he also has a fine 3.25 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in seven road starts.

Tim Stauffer pitched seven innings of two-run ball and struck out nine in a win over the Braves on Friday. Stauffer, who was on the wrong side of 2-0 and 1-0 games his last two times out, finally got some run support tonight in the Padres' 11-2 victory. It was just his third win in 16 starts this season. Of course, with his 3.09 ERA, he deserves quite a bit better.

Tim Stauffer threw seven innings of one-run ball Saturday against the Twins but got stuck with the loss. Stauffer didn't issue a single walk while fanning five batters, but he allowed a solo shot to Twins infielder Danny Valencia in the second inning and the San Diego lineup provided no run support. The right-hander has enjoyed a silky smooth past few weeks and is a perfectly useful fantasy starter.
