Ubaldo Jimenez - S - Indians

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.

Ubaldo Jimenez - S - Indians

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.

Ubaldo Jimenez - S - Indians

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 - S - Indians

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.

Ubaldo Jimenez - S - Indians

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.

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.

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 - S - Indians

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 - S - Indians

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.
Mar 29 - 6:22 PM
Ubaldo Jimenez - S - Indians

Ubaldo Jimenez allowed three runs on four hits over seven innings in Sunday's loss to the Cubs.

Jimenez has a mediocre 4.62 ERA this spring, but his strikeout numbers have been promising. His fastball was consistently in the 92 mph range, so he'll need to continue to locate his pitches to be effective. After failing to live up to expectations each of the last two seasons, we're taking a wait-and-see approach with Jimenez in fantasy leagues.
Mar 24 - 9:30 PM
Ubaldo Jimenez - S - Indians

Ubaldo Jimenez struck out five while allowing two runs over 5 1/3 innings Monday against the Brewers.

He gave up seven hits and walked one. Jimenez has a 4.91 ERA and 1.58 WHIP this spring, but he holds a promising 14/3 K/BB ratio over 18 1/3 frames. Fantasy owners should take a wait-and-see approach with the tall right-hander after the disappointment of the last two seasons.
Mar 18 - 6:49 PM
Ubaldo Jimenez - S - Indians

Ubaldo Jimenez gave up two runs over five frames in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

The big right-hander yielded seven hits but didn't walk anyone and struck out three. Jimenez now holds a 5.54 ERA over four appearances this spring, but he's only walked two over 13 innings, which is encouraging. There haven't been reports on what his velocity has been.
Mar 13 - 7:53 PM
Ubaldo Jimenez - S - Indians

Ubaldo Jimenez allowed one earned run over four innings Thursday in the Indians' 6-4 win over the Giants.

A positive turn for Jimenez, who was shelled for five earned runs last week in his two-inning spring debut. He yielded no walks on Thursday and fanned two San Francisco batters. Jimenez will try to stretch out to five innings next time. He's a risky fantasy pick for 2013.
Mar 7 - 5:53 PM
Ubaldo Jimenez - S - Indians

Indians GM Chris Antonetti expressed confidence in Ubaldo Jimenez's ability to bounce back in 2013.

"I think he still has great stuff and the ability to be a very effective starting pitcher," Antonetti said. "But as we've talked about, the thing that's key for him is consistency." Jimenez is coming off two straight disappointing seasons, and hasn't come close to looking like the pitcher he was in 2010. It's not unreasonable to think he could reestablish himself as a front-line starter, but he'll need to prove he's over his control issues before fantasy owners can trust him again.
