Jeremy Hefner gave up three runs -- one earned -- over five frames in Sunday's 4-3 victory over the Cubs.
Hefner allowed three hits and a run in the first but settled in to pitch pretty decently after that. He allowed six hits and a walk while striking out five for the day and avoided falling to 1-7 when the Mets rallied in the ninth. Hefner now holds a solid 3.96 ERA and 1.21 WHIP for the season, but note that he's given up seven unearned runs over his last two outings. When the Mets go to five starters, he's probably the likeliest to get the boot. For now, though, he's in line to start on Friday in Philly. Jun 16 - 4:32 PM

Jeremy Hefner - S - Mets

Jeremy Hefner allowed six runs – one earned – over six innings in Tuesday’s loss to the Cardinals.

He gave up eight hits, walked one and struck out two. Hefner’s defense certainly didn’t help him in this one, especially in the Cards’ five-run fifth when Daniel Murphy made an error to start off the frame and David Wright booted a ball that should have been an inning-ending double play. Nevertheless, it’s not as if Hefner pitched well, as he allowed St. Louis to take advantage of their opportunities. He’ll take a 4.11 ERA and 1.26 WHIP into this weekend’s outing against the Cubs.

Jeremy Hefner deserved a win but was left with a no-decision Tuesday, tossing seven innings of one-run ball in a loss to the Nationals.

He gave up just four hits, walked one and struck out seven. Hefner was in line for his second win heading into the ninth, but Bobby Parnell failed to close out the win. Though he has only one victory over that time, Hefner has posted a quality start in four of his last five starts. He'll get the Marlins this weekend.

Jeremy Hefner allowed three runs over six innings to earn his first win of the season against the Yankees on Wednesday.

Hefner scattered nine hits over his six innings, striking out five. The right-hander has generally been better than his 1-5 record would indicate, and he should continue to get better as the season goes along. His next start will come Tuesday against the Nationals.

Jeremy Hefner gave up two runs in six innings Friday against the Braves.

The game was suspended after eight innings and will resume Saturday. Hefner gave up a two-run homer to Freddie Freeman in the first inning, but retired 16 out of the final 19 batters he faced before exiting. However, LaTroy Hawkins coughed up the lead in the top of the eighth, which means that Hefner is still winless. He stuck out seven and walked two in the no-decision and owns a 4.67 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across nine starts and one relief appearance this season. He's not an option outside of deeper NL-only formats.

Jeremy Hefner was tagged with four runs in four innings Saturday in a loss to the Cubs.

Hefner tossed three scoreless frames before he gave up four runs in his final inning of work. The big blow as a two-run double by opposing pitcher Scott Feldman. Hefner had been pitching better recently, but the poor outing pulls his ERA back to 5.00 for the year. He shouldn't be an option outside of deeper NL-only leagues.

Jeremy Hefner - S - Mets

Jeremy Hefner allowed four runs in six innings as the Mets lost to the White Sox on Wednesday.

Hefner is now 0-4 on the year, but he hasn't been as bad as his record would indicate. The right-hander now owns a 4.63 ERA despite having a 3.00 ERA over his last three starts. He's still best left for NL-only leagues. He'll likely get two starts next week, with the first coming Monday against the Cardinals.

Jeremy Hefner - S - Mets

Jeremy Hefner suffered a tough-luck loss Tuesday against the Marlins, striking out eight while allowing two runs -- one earned -- over eight frames.

He gave up just four hits -- all singles -- and didn't walk a batter. Hefner allowed a leadoff single to Chris Coghlan to start the ninth in what was at the time a 1-0 game. After a passed ball, Coghlan was sacrificed to third but got lucky when he wasn't called out after oversliding the bag. Brandon Lyon then replaced Hefner and failed to retire a batter. Obviously you must consider the competition, but Hefner has now put up two straight nice outings and boasts a 1.21 WHIP for the year. He'll face the White Sox next week.

Jeremy Hefner allowed five runs over three innings in the Mets' loss to the Phillies on Wednesday.

The Phillies did all their damage in the first inning, getting to Hefner for two home runs in the first six batters. He settled down in the two innings following, but the damage had already been done. Hefner will try to do better Tuesday in Colorado.

Jeremy Hefner - S - Mets

Jeremy Hefner yielded one run over six innings Friday in a tough-luck loss to the Marlins.

Hefner limited the weak-hitting Marlins to just five hits and two walks, but a solo homer by Greg Dobbs was enough to put him on the losing side. With the injuries to Johan Santana (shoulder) and Shaun Marcum (neck), his rotation spot should be pretty safe for now. While Hefner doesn't blow batters away, he has fine control and should be useful in NL-only leagues.

Jeremy Hefner (elbow) will resume throwing Friday.

He'll then make a 1-2 inning appearance in a game on Saturday. Hefner was hit in the right elbow with a comebacker on Tuesday, but he only suffered a bruise and is expected to be fine. He's slated to start the fourth game of the regular season for the Mets.

Jeremy Hefner (elbow) expects to make his first regular season start.

Hefner was hit in the right elbow with a one-hopper during Tuesday's game, but fortunately for the Mets, he walked away with just a bruise. He's dealing with a little bit of stiffness, but hopes to resume throwing as soon as Thursday. If all goes well, he currently lines up to start the fourth game of the regular season.

Jeremy Hefner was diagnosed with a contusion of the right elbow Tuesday after X-rays came back negative.

That's a relief. Hefner left Tuesday's Grapefruit League game after he was hit in the elbow by a one-hopper, but he managed to avoid a serious injury. Barring a setback, there's a good chance he'll be ready to start the season in the Mets' rotation.
