Jeremy Guthrie took a second straight loss after allowing six runs in five innings Monday against the Astros.
Well, that's disappointing. Guthrie allowed seven homers in his first seven starts, going 5-0 with a 2.28 ERA. In his last two, he's allowed six homers, while also striking out just two batters and walking six. Not that Guthrie was ever likely to maintain an ERA in the low-2.00s, but he has picked a surprising time to come apart, facing the dregs of the AL West (it was the Angels last time out). Mixed leaguers may want to move on, if not now then after his home start against the Angels this weekend. May 20 - 11:44 PM

Jeremy Guthrie - S - Royals

Facing the Orioles for the first time in his career, Jeremy Guthrie allowed two runs -- one earned -- in six innings Thursday to move to 5-0 for the season.

Guthrie, who spent five seasons with the Baltimore before being traded after the 2011 campaign, outdueled Freddy Garcia to win a third straight start. The Royals are now 6-1 with him on the mound this season.

Jeremy Guthrie tossed the first shutout of his career as the Royals beat the White Sox 2-0 on Saturday.

Guthrie has pitched more than 1,200 innings in the major leagues but had never blanked a team for nine frames until Saturday night. He scattered four hits, struck out three and issued just one walk while moving to 4-0 with a 2.40 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. The shine should wear off eventually, but he's a must-start right now in fantasy leagues.

Friday's game between the White Sox and Royals has been postponed due to inclement weather.

The game will be made up Monday at 2:10 p.m. ET. Friday's starters, Jeremy Guthrie and Dylan Axelrod, will presumably be pushed back to Saturday.

Jeremy Guthrie tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings on Sunday afternoon in Kansas City as the Royals won the first half of a doubleheader against the Indians.

Guthrie was excellent, scattering six hits and three walks while striking out five. He is now 3-0 with a cool 3.06 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 24/10 K/BB ratio through 32 1/3 innings this season. The Rays are his next opponent.

Jeremy Guthrie - S - Royals

Jeremy Guthrie allowed only two solo home runs over seven innings, but the Royals lost to the Braves on Tuesday.

Is Guthrie for real? It's getting harder to ignore the 34-year-old after his most recent start. The right-hander now has a 3.20 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP through three starts, despite not getting the win his last time out. Home runs have been an issue -- he's now served up five in 19 2/3 innings this season -- but he's otherwise been very good. He's worth picking up in mixed leagues while he's going strong. His next start will likely come Tuesday against the Tigers.

Jeremy Guthrie - S - Royals

Jeremy Guthrie allowed four runs in 6 2/3 innings to get the win against the Twins on Tuesday.

Guthrie is now 2-0 on the young season with a 3.55 ERA. It wasn't the most dominant start -- Guthrie allowed three home runs to Twins batters -- but it got the job done. Unless the Royals skip a starter to keep him on regular rest, Guthrie's next start will come next Tuesday in Atlanta.
Apr 9 - 11:29 PM
Jeremy Guthrie - S - Royals

Jeremy Guthrie spun six innings of one-run ball in a 3-1 win over the White Sox on Thursday.

Guthrie limited the White Sox to just five singles and one walk while striking out nine. He also hit a batter. It was his most strikeouts in a start since September 14, 2011 as a member of the Orioles. We aren't expecting him to duplicate the 3.16 ERA he had with the Royals last season, but he should be a reliable option in AL-only leagues and a decent matchup play in deeper mixed formats.
Apr 4 - 5:30 PM
Jeremy Guthrie - S - Royals

Jeremy Guthrie yielded one run over four innings Friday against the Indians.

Guthrie allowed six hits while striking out one and walking none. He'll finish the spring with a 4.09 ERA in five appearances. After being inked to a three-year, $25 million contract over the winter, Guthrie is slated to start against the White Sox in the third game of the regular season. He doesn't offer much appeal outside of AL-only leagues.
Mar 29 - 6:24 PM
Jeremy Guthrie - S - Royals

Jeremy Guthrie struck out seven while allowing two runs over six innings Sunday against the White Sox.

Guthrie has put together a respectable spring with a 4.50 ERA over his four appearances. He didn't allow any walks Sunday and threw 58 of 87 pitches for strikes. While Guthrie should be a decent starter for the Royals this season, his fantasy appeal is limited. Continue to view him as an AL-only option.
Mar 24 - 9:38 PM
Jeremy Guthrie - S - Royals

Jeremy Guthrie allowed three runs -- two earned -- over six innings against the Rockies Tuesday.

He permitted eight hits, walked one and struck out a pair. The owner of a 5.25 ERA this spring, Guthrie should be a decent starter for the Royals this season, but his fantasy appeal is limited.
Mar 19 - 6:43 PM
Jeremy Guthrie - S - Royals

Jeremy Guthrie yielded two runs over four frames Thursday against the Indians.

He gave up five hits, walked two, struck out two and served up a home run to Lonnie Chisenhall. Guthrie has an ugly 6.00 ERA so far this spring, but the Royals won't be overly concerned about hit bottom line results.
Mar 14 - 6:59 PM
Jeremy Guthrie - S - Royals

Jeremy Guthrie allowed two earned runs in two innings Saturday in a Cactus League started against the Giants.

Guthrie yielded four hits, but he issued no walks and tallied two strikeouts. The veteran right-hander signed a three-year, $25 million contract with the Royals this winter and will slot in behind James Shields this summer in the Kansas City starting rotation.
Mar 2 - 5:56 PM
Jeremy Guthrie - S - Royals

Royals signed RHP Jeremy Guthrie to a three-year, $25 million contract.

Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star reported the contract information. Guthrie will make $5 million next season, $11 million in 2014 and $9 million in 2015. The Royals were reportedly unwilling to offer more than two years, but they ultimately caved to keep him in the fold. Guthrie earned the big payday after posting an impressive 3.16 ERA and 56/19 K/BB ratio over 91 innings after coming over from the Rockies in July. He'll be at the front of the Royals' rotation next season along with recent acquisition Ervin Santana.

Jeremy Guthrie - S - Royals

Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star hears that Jeremy Guthrie is seeking a three-year, $34 million deal.

It's quite a bit of money for a guy who was basically pushed off the Rockies' roster mid-season. But he did bounce back impressively with the Royals and it only takes one crazy owner to step forward. Guthrie, 33, registered a 3.16 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 91 innings (14 starts) after joining up with Kansas City in late July.
