Blake Beavan struggled against the Rays on Wednesday, giving up five runs on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings of work. Beavan struck out one and walked two in the game. He was staked to a 3-0 lead after the first inning, but surrendered two runs each in the third and fourth innings. The 23-year-old again had trouble keeping the ball in the park, as Sean Rodriguez and Luke Scott both took him deep. Beavan will carry a 1-3 record and 4.45 ERA with him into Monday's start against the Tigers

Blake Beavan pitched well in a losing effort against the White Sox on Friday, allowing three runs on seven hits in six innings of work. It didn't matter how well he pitched, as Phil Humber was perfect on the other side of the diamond. Beavan struck out one and walked one in the game. He falls to 1-1 on the season with a respectable 3.26 ERA. He has only struck out eight hitters in his 19 1/3 innings of work on the year though, and isn't a very attractive option in most fantasy leagues. He'll take on the Blue Jays in Toronto next week.

Blake Beavan turned in seven strong innings in Sunday's 5-3 win over the A's, allowing three runs on six hits. Beavan fanned four while walking none. His only real mistake came in the fifth, where he allowed a leadoff single to Kila Ka'aihue and hit Anthony Recker before serving up a three-run blast to Eric Sogard. He's now recorded at least 19 outs in each of his first two outings, and posted a 2.70 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 7/1 K/BB ratio in the process. He'll get the White Sox at home next weekend.

Blake Beavan stretched out in Monday's 6-4 win over the Rangers, allowing two runs on three hits in five innings of work. Beavan struck out two in his third Cactus League outing, serving up a solo home run to Nelson Cruz in the process. Fighting to earn a spot in the Mariners' rotation, Beavan is the owner of a 2.38 ERA and 6/2 K/BB ratio through 11 1/3 spring innings.

Blake Beavan twirled four shutout innings on two hits and a walk while striking out three in Wednesday's win over the Angels. A fine showing from the young right-hander that will earn him some brownie points toward a spot in the 2012 rotation. Beavan posted a 4.27 ERA and nice 1.25 WHIP over 15 starts for the Mariners last season, but he held a woeful 3.9 K/9 rate, and his minor league track record suggests someone that won't be mixed league material even if he should earn a spot among the starting five.

Blake Beavan allowed one run and four hits in 2 1/3 innings Friday in a victory over the A's. Beavan looked like a better bet to have a spot in Seattle's rotation before the Kevin Millwood signing. He's still got a shot, but he'll have to beat out either Millwood or Hector Noesi for the job.

Blake Beavan shut down the Rangers for eight innings to win Friday night. The other player in last year's Cliff Lee-Justin Smoak deal came up big tonight, limiting the Texas offense to just four hits and combining with Brandon League on a shutout. Thanks to the rookie's performance, the Rangers couldn't capitalize on the Angels' loss earlier in the night. Beavan is 5-5 with a 3.92 ERA to date.

Blake Beavan yielded four earned runs over five innings in a loss to the Athletics Sunday. Beaven is now 0-3 with a 6.44 ERA in his last five starts. Today's outing is especially concerning considering how favorable the spot was in Oakland. With just 28 strikeouts in 70 2/3 innings this season, there's not much upside with the rookie.

Blake Beavan pitched well in a no-decision Monday, limiting the Angels to three runs on eight hits over seven frames in the Angels' 5-3 win. He didn't walk or strike out a batter. Beavan posted six straight quality starts to kick off his MLB career before scuffling in mid-August, but he's rebounded with two straight quality outings. The former first-round pick doesn't miss many bats and has limited upside, but he's done enough to be worthy of spot start status. Beavan gets the A's over the weekend.

Blake Beavan gave up three home runs for the second consecutive start on Wednesday, allowing five runs in five innings of Seattle's 5-1 loss to the Blue Jays. Allowing six home runs over just two starts in Safeco Field isn't easy to do, but that's just what Beavan has done. Now the owner of a 4.10 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 21/9 K/BB ratio through his first 52 2/3 innings, he'll get the Indians in Cleveland on Tuesday. That's likely an outing you'll want to keep him benched for.
