Ubaldo Jimenez allowed two runs over 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Royals on Tuesday.
Jimenez was a mixed bag on Tuesday. Two runs allowed on just two hits? Good. Four walks and four strikeouts? Not so good. The right-hander's end results have looked alright his past few starts, but the underlying numbers still make him a crapshoot every time he goes out. His next start will come Monday against a tough Orioles lineup in Baltimore. Jun 18 - 10:06 PM

Ubaldo Jimenez allowed one run over five innings to get the win against the Rangers on Wednesday.

Jimenez wasn't overly sharp, as he walked four batters and allowed four hits while striking out four. But he surrendered only a Leonys Martin home run for the only Rangers run against him -- the 10th home run he's allowed in 67 2/3 innings. His ERA is finally below 5.00, but he's still too inconsistent to rely on in mixed leagues. His next start will come Tuesday against the Royals.
Jun 12 - 11:29 PM

Ubaldo Jimenez was knocked around in Friday’s loss to the Tigers, surrendering five runs (three earned) on seven hits in just three innings of work.

He also issued three free passes while fanning three on the night. The roller coaster ride continues for Jimenez, who was dominant in each of his previous two outings. He’ll head into Wednesday’s start against the Rangers in Texas with a 4-4 record, 5.03 ERA and 63/30 K/BB ratio through his first 62 2/3 innings on the season.
Jun 7 - 10:21 PM

Ubaldo Jimenez was fantastic Saturday against the Rays, striking out seven batters over eight scoreless frames as part of a 5-0 victory.

Jimenez held the Rays to just four hits (three of them singles) while walking just one batter. He threw 72 out of 108 pitches for strikes. Jimenez has shown some flashes of his old form in recent weeks, posting a 2.74 ERA and 45/16 K/BB ratio in 42 2/3 innings across his last seven starts. It's an encouraging trend, but he has a tough matchup against the Tigers next week in Detroit.
Jun 1 - 4:07 PM

Ubaldo Jimenez yielded just two runs in seven innings Monday against the Reds but the Indians lost.

Jimenez allowed only four total hits and struck out six. It was a nice effort, but the Cleveland offense failed to get much going against Mike Leake and the Cincinnati bullpen. Jimenez will carry a 5.57 ERA and 1.35 WHIP into his next scheduled outing against the Rays. He's not a good option in mixed fantasy leagues.
May 27 - 3:59 PM

Ubaldo Jimenez allowed six runs over four innings in the Indians' loss to the Tigers on Wednesday.

Jimenez had been on a bit of a roll before Wednesday, having not allowed more than two runs in any of his previous four starts. But the Tigers got to Jimenez for seven hits and three walks in his shortest outing since April 16. His next start will come Monday against the Reds.
May 23 - 12:33 AM

Ubaldo Jimenez delivered another strong effort in a no-decision against the Mariners on Friday, surrendering two runs on seven hits over his five frames.

Jimenez racked up nine strikeouts on the evening while walking two. Unfortunately for Jimenez, Rich Hill came on in the sixth inning and immediately surrendered his 3-1 lead. Over his last four outings, he’s compiled a 1.90 ERA and 29/8 K/BB ratio over 23 2/3 innings. While he’s unlikely to continue at this pace, he’s certainly usable in all fantasy formats for the time being. He’ll look to get back in the win column when he takes on the Tigers at home on Wednesday.
May 17 - 10:53 PM

Ubaldo Jimenez delivered another strong performance in Saturday night’s victory over the Tigers, allowing just one run on three hits over his six innings.

Jimenez struck out eight hitters for the second straight outing and issued just one walk. After a brutal beginning to the 2013 campaign, the right-hander has won three consecutive starts while allowing just three earned runs in 18 2/3 total innings. The overall numbers still look ugly, but he's a decent spot play right now in mixed fantasy formats.
May 11 - 10:48 PM

Ubaldo Jimenez recorded his second straight win after allowing two runs in 5 2/3 innings and striking out eight A's on Monday.

The eight strikeouts was his high total since he fanned eight in a loss to the Mariners last Aug. 20. Jimenez still rates as untrustworthy at the moment, though. He'll get the Tigers in Detroit next time out.
May 6 - 10:25 PM

Ubaldo Jimenez picked up his first win of the season after shutting out the Royals for seven innings on Monday.

Jimenez, who combined with Nick Hagadone and Cody Allen on a three-hitter, lowered his ERA from 10.06 to 7.12 tonight. He's too risky to play in AL-only leagues right now, but he does have a favorable matchup coming up against the Twins.
Apr 29 - 11:11 PM

Ubaldo Jimenez was lit up for seven runs on two hits and five walks over just 1 2/3 innings in Tuesday night's loss to the Red Sox.

The Indians used back-to-back rainouts last week to give Jimenez seven days of rest in between starts, but it clearly didn't help. He managed to record a 1-2-3 first inning, but the wheels came off in a seven-run second that saw him issue five free passes, including a pair with the bases loaded. The righty has allowed seven runs in consecutive outings and now sports an 11.25 ERA and 1.83 WHIP for the season. Jimenez gets the Astros the next time out, but fantasy owners still can't trust him.
Apr 16 - 11:14 PM

Ubaldo Jimenez will make his next start on Tuesday.

The Indians are taking advantage of back-to-back rainouts to push back the struggling Jimenez, who had been scheduled to start Saturday. He allowed six runs (five earned) over 4 1/3 innings in Monday's start.
Apr 11 - 9:26 PM

Ubaldo Jimenez was smoked for six runs (five earned) over 4 1/3 innings in Monday's loss to the Yankees.

Jimenez struggled with his velocity and his control, allowing seven hits (including two homers) and three walks. He threw 52 out of 91 pitches for strikes and couldn't make it out of the fifth inning. While his season debut was encouraging, this was the polar opposite. Jimenez simply can't be trusted in mixed leagues.
Apr 8 - 8:05 PM

Ubaldo Jimenez allowed just one run over six innings in the Indians' win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

Jimenez has been below average since his breakout 2010 season, but Wednesday's start reminded us that he's still capable of pitching well. The right-hander struck out six batters while allowing fewer baserunners than innings pitched. He's an interesting name because of what he did a few seasons ago, but we'll pass until he shows this wasn't an aberration.
Apr 3 - 10:45 PM

Ubaldo Jimenez gave up three runs in 4 2/3 innings in Friday's loss to the Royals.

Jimenez only gave up three hits, but all of them were homers. And while he struck out five, he issued three walks. He had walked only four batters over his previous 25 1/3 innings this spring, so the Indians were likely hoping for better as he prepares for his season debut next Wednesday against the Blue Jays. We wouldn't trust him in mixed fantasy leagues.
