Scott Feldman fired 6 2/3 scoreless innings in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Mets.
Feldman held the lifeless Mets' lineup in check, scattering seven hits while walking only one batter. He fanned six in the victory and now sits at 4-3 with a 2.19 ERA and 39/18 K/BB ratio in 49 1/3 innings across eight starts. Feldman isn't going to maintain this pace, as he has been rather fortunate with his BABIP (batting average on balls in play), but he's worth considering in deeper mixed fantasy leagues.

Cubs manager Dale Sveum said a six-man rotation "could happen" when Matt Garza returns from the disabled list.

Sveum had said last week that it wouldn't happen, but evidently now he's at least giving it some thought. If they stay with a standard five-man rotation, Scott Feldman or Carlos Villanueva, who have both pitched well, will lose their spot. "It's a tough decision because everyone has pitched pretty well and it's going to be one of those things, it's going to be unfortunate for somebody," Sveum said. "Maybe you go to a six-man rotation for a week just because of matchups. You never know. A lot of things come into play."

Scott Feldman limited the Nationals to one run over six innings Sunday in the Cubs' 2-1 victory.

Feldman scattered three singles and two doubles while fanning six. He is in danger of losing his spot in the Cubs' rotation when Matt Garza (lat) returns from the disabled list and will need to pitch really well over the next two weeks to have a shot at keeping it. Feldman will take on the Mets next time out.

Scott Feldman is a candidate to lose his rotation spot when Matt Garza (lat) returns from the disabled list.

Edwin Jackson is performing the poorest of the Cubs' starters, but he, along with Jeff Samardzija and Travis Wood, are all locks for rotation spots. Feldman or Carlos Villanueva will be moved to the bullpen.

Cubs manager Dale Sveum said after Monday's game that Scott Feldman (hand) will be fine.

Feldman had to leave his start with a cramp in his pitching hand, but it's no big deal. He'll take the ball later this week against the Nationals. Feldman holds a 1.63 ERA over his last four starts.

Scott Feldman had to leave Monday's start against the Rangers in the eighth inning due to a right hand injury.

Feldman was set to continue his bid for a shutout, but he was pulled with an apparent cramp in his hand before the eighth got underway. It didn't appear to be a big deal, as the Cubs were likely just exercising caution with a 7-0 lead and Feldman having already thrown 102 pitches. The big righty held his former team scoreless on two hits over his seven frames, and he now boasts a 1.63 ERA in his last four starts.

Scott Feldman struck out 12 batters Wednesday as part of a 6-2 complete-game win over the Padres.

The right-hander allowed just three hits, two of which were solo home runs to Jedd Gyorko and Chase Headley. The 12 strikeouts were a single-game record for Feldman and it was also his first-ever complete game. He had struck out just 12 batters all season before Wednesday, though, so expectations going forward should be tempered. His next start will come Monday against his former team, the Rangers.

Scott Feldman pitched well in Friday’s victory over the Marlins, allowing just two runs on seven hits over his 6 2/3 innings.

Feldman walked two and struck out two on the evening while picking up his first win of the season. Joe Mahoney tagged him for a solo homer in the fourth inning, then he allowed sacrifice fly in the seventh, but that was the extent of the damage. He’ll look to improve upon his 3.92 ERA and 1.65 WHIP when he takes on the Padres at Wrigley Field on Wednesday.

Scott Feldman will miss his next scheduled start with lower back tightness.

The Cubs have an off-day on Monday, so they won't take any chances with Feldman. If all goes well, he'll start next Saturday against the Brewers. Feldman owns a 6.00 ERA through his first two starts this season.

Scott Feldman yielded six runs (two earned) in 4 1/3 innings Thursday in a loss to the Giants.

Feldman held the Giants scoreless until an error by Starlin Castro with two outs in the fourth inning opened the floodgates for four runs. While the damage wasn't all his fault, he allowed seven hits and three walks and also hit a batter. With a 6.00 ERA through his first two outings, Feldman will look to rebound next week when the Rangers -- his former team -- come to Chicago for an interleague matchup.

Scott Feldman struggled in his season debut Friday, surrendering four runs on five hits over his 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Braves.

Feldman had difficulty finding the strike zone, issuing four walks while striking out just one on the night. Justin Upton led the charge against him with a solo homer in the first inning and added a sacrifice fly in the third. He'll look to turn things around and get back on track when he does battle against the Brewers at home on Wednesday.

Scott Feldman yielded four runs over five innings Thursday against the Dodgers.

Feldman gave up seven hits -- the big blow of which was a three-run homer to Alex Castellanos in the bottom of the fourth inning -- while fanning five and walking none. He has allowed four runs or more in three out of his five starts this spring, resulting in an ugly 10.34 ERA, but the Cubs signed him to fill a rotation spot.

Scott Feldman was hammered for seven runs over 3 2/3 innings in Friday's blowout loss to the White Sox.

Feldman gave up seven hits -- including a two-run homer to Jordan Danks -- and two walks while striking out a pair. He has allowed 14 runs in just 10 2/3 innings this spring, resulting in a nasty 11.81 ERA, but his rotation spot isn't in any jeopardy. However, it will be tough to use him outside of NL-only leagues initially.

Scott Feldman gave up two runs on four hits over three innings in Sunday's win against the Padres.

Feldman pitched in and out of trouble, though it was an improvement on his last Cactus League appearance. He's looked underwhelming so far this spring, but we still like him as a late-round flier. The Cubs are counting on Feldman to open the season as their No. 3 starter.

Scott Feldman was lit up for four runs on six hits and a walk over two innings in Tuesday's loss to the Rockies.

Feldman allowed a pair of doubles and a home run, as he obviously wasn't sharp from the get-go in this one. He has a 2.75 WHIP so far in his first two spring outings, but he's pitched just four innings. We still like him as a potential late-round flier this year.
