Chad Durbin - R - Phillies

Chad Durbin sports a hideous 10.38 ERA in May.

His season ERA of 8.10 ain't much better. Durbin sat at a decent 3.52 ERA on April 29. Since that time, he's been a human pinata, allowing 10 runs on 10 hits and four homers over just 3 2/3 innings. Durbin, 35, registered a solid 3.10 ERA in 61 innings last season for the Braves. Philadelphia may be wondering if they purchased a $1.1 million mole at this point.

Nate Jones - R - White Sox

Nate Jones has been blasted this season to the tune of a 6.33 ERA over 21 1/3 innings.

Jones won the final spot in the White Sox bullpen in 2012 and rewarded Chicago's brain trust with a 2.39 ERA over 71 2/3 frames. He's running out of time to turn things around one year later and a demotion could be in the offing. An interesting anomaly, for all you stat heads: Jones was 8-0 last season. This year? He's 0-4.
May 24 - 3:58 AM
George Kontos - R - Giants

George Kontos has allowed six runs on 11 hits and two walks in his last three appearances.

The Northwestern product has seen better days. Though Kontos' 5.79 ERA this season is undoubtedly inflated by some bad luck, his days on the active roster may be numbered.
May 24 - 3:48 AM
James Russell - R - Cubs

James Russell has emerged as one of the Cubs' few bright spots in 2013, checking in with a 1.04 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 23 appearances.

The former 14th-round pick also has seven holds and a 19/4 K/BB ratio over 17 1/3 innings. Russell has regressed a bit since an April in which he didn't allow a run, but he's lowered his ERA every season he's been in the majors. We expect him to do so again.
May 24 - 3:33 AM
Edwar Cabrera - S - Rockies

Edwar Cabrera (left shoulder impingement) threw a 45-pitch bullpen session last month.

We've read nothing further regarding Cabrera, which probably means he isn't close to a rehab assignment. The 25-year-old lefty was placed on the 60-day disabled list in February. He's eligible for activation, but not healthy enough to pitch. Cabrera ranked as Colorado's ninth best prospect by MLB.com this offseason.
May 24 - 3:25 AM
Aaron Loup - R - Blue Jays

Aaron Loup has been a bright spot in Toronto's bullpen, tallying a 2.55 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 24 2/3 innings.

Over the past two years, he's given the Jays a 2.60 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 55 1/3 innings. Toronto doesn't trust him much in high-leverage situations, however, which is why he only has four holds in 2013 and 10 in his career.
May 24 - 3:15 AM
Brandon Lyon - R - Mets

Brandon Lyon is enjoying his first season in Queens, recording a 3.06 ERA through 21 appearances.

New York guaranteed Lyon less than a million bucks as a free agent this winter, an investment that is paying off nicely. The veteran reliever has five holds, a 1.08 WHIP and 16/4 K/BB ratio in 17 2/3 innings. Lyon registered a solid 3.10 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 63/20 K/BB ratio across 61 innings last season between the Astros and Blue Jays.
May 24 - 3:10 AM
Ronald Belisario - R - Dodgers

Ronald Belisario sits on a 3.22 ERA through 23 appearances.

Belisario put up a nice 2.54 ERA while striking out nearly a batter per inning last season. He's punched out one less batter per nine innings in 2013 and his control hasn't been quite as sharp. Currently, Belisario is allowing the highest batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage of his career, but he has been slightly unlucky with balls in play,
