Brandon Maurer turned in a quality start in a no-decision against the Indians on Friday, allowing three runs on five hits over his six frames.
Maurer matched his career-high with six strikeouts in the game, while walking four. Despite the decent start, he owns a putrid 5.75 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 28/14 K/BB ratio on the season, and could be at risk of losing his spot in the M’s rotation. He’ll take on the Angels in Anaheim on Wednesday, but should be avoided for fantasy purposes. May 17 - 10:48 PM

Brandon Maurer gave up four runs in four innings Tuesday in a loss to the Orioles.

All four runs came in the first, so take some encouragement from the fact that he was able to bounce back afterwards. Still, Maurer's ERA is back up to 6.07 now. If he struggles again next time out, perhaps he'll be replaced by Jeremy Bonderman in the rotation.

Brandon Maurer - S - Mariners

Brandon Maurer struck out six over 6 1/3 shutout frames in a 6-0 win over the Angels on Thursday.

It was the best start of his brief major league career. Maurer scattered seven hits (all singles), walked one and hit a batter, so the Angels had their fair share of chances, but the rookie right-hander was able to induce a pair of key inning-ending double plays. After struggling through his first two starts, Maurer has a 1.89 ERA over his last three outings. He'll try to keep it going next week against the Orioles at home.

Brandon Maurer allowed two runs in 6 2/3 innings, but the Mariners lost to the Rangers on Saturday.

It was a tough fate for the young right-hander, as he was good enough to get the win Saturday. A just-enough home run by A.J. Pierzynski and a homer by David Murphy that ended Maurer's night were the only damage done by the Rangers on the evening. His next start will come Thursday against the Angels.

Brandon Maurer - S - Mariners

Brandon Maurer allowed two runs on five hits over six innings in Sunday's win over the Rangers.

After being pulled in his last outing against the Astros, Maurer bounced back to earn his first win of the season. He gave up just one walk and finished with five strikeouts on the night. His rotation spot is still far from guaranteed, but the Mariners will continue to stick with him for now.

Brandon Maurer was pulled after allowing six earned runs in two-thirds of an inning Tuesday in his start against the Astros.

Yeah, against the Astros. This after Maurer gave up six runs in six innings and lost to the A's his first time out. The Mariners figure to give him one more chance, but they could move on to Jeremy Bonderman or Danny Hultzen if he doesn't take a big step forward. Unfortunately, Erasmo Ramirez (elbow) isn't ready just yet.

Brandon Maurer - S - Mariners

Brandon Maurer struggled in his major league debut Thursday, allowing six runs over six frames in a loss to the Athletics.

Maurer gave up eight hits -- including a pair of home runs -- while walking no one and striking out just one. He was economical in his outing, needing just 74 pitches to cover the six innings, but obviously he didn't get the results he wanted. He'll have a good shot to bounce back next week against the Astros.

Brandon Maurer - S - Mariners

Brandon Maurer has won the fourth spot in the Mariners' rotation.

Maurer entered camp as a long shot for the job, but he earned the spot with an excellent 0.90 ERA and 22/6 K/BB ratio over 20 innings in Cactus League play. The 22-year-old posted a 3.20 ERA and 117/48 K/BB ratio over 137 2/3 innings in Double-A Jackson last season and makes for an excellent under the radar option in AL-only fantasy leagues.

Brandon Maurer's impressive spring continued Monday, as he tossed five scoreless innings while striking out seven Reds hitters.

He gave up six hits and walked one. Maurer entered spring training seemingly as a longshot for the Mariners' rotation, but he's done his best to earn a spot with a microscopic 0.90 ERA and 22 strikeouts over 20 spring innings. The 22-year-old has had plenty of injury issues in the minors, but he has some ability and would be worth a shot in AL-only formats if he's named to the Seattle rotation.

Mariners purchased the contract of RHP Brandon Maurer from Double-A Jackson.

He's now part of the 40-man roster. Maurer is coming off a nice year, having put up a 3.20 ERA while striking out 117 over 137 2/3 innings.
