Blake Beavan was tagged for six runs in 6 1/3 innings by the Red Sox on Friday. Safeco Field couldn't protect Beavan from giving up three homers tonight. He's in the best possible situation to succeed in Seattle, but good left-handed power hitters are bound to have success against him. He's now 3-3 with a 3.59 ERA in seven starts.

Blake Beavan allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks in 6 2/3 innings on Monday, improving to 2-2 in Seattle's 8-4 win over the A's. He struck out three. With Doug Fister and Erik Bedard now both out of the picture in Seattle, Beavan's rotation spot is secure indefinitely. Making half of his starts in pitcher-friendly Safeco Field, he wouldn't be a huge leap of faith as a flier in deeper mixed leagues. Just know that he won't keep up at this rate, however.

With the trading of Doug Fister, Blake Beavan is expected to move back into the Mariners' rotation. Beavan actually didn't make any appearances out of the bullpen but was pulled from the rotation when Erik Bedard return. The right-hander holds a 3.04 ERA and 1.05 WHIP this season but doesn't miss any bats and is due for a regression.

Blake Beavan yielded three earned runs over 6 2/3 innings in Sunday's loss to the Rangers. Beavan struck out three, walked two and gave up six hits. The only runs he allowed came on a Mitch Moreland three-run jack in the second inning. It's a solid outing for the rookie, but the Mariners' inept offense is going to cap his fantasy upside. A potential start in Fenway Park next time out could be ugly for Beavan.

Blake Beavan held the Angels to two runs over 6 1/3 innings in a no-decision on Friday night. Beavan has allowed just three runs in his two starts, but there's not going to be any room for him in the Seattle rotation after Erik Bedard returns. Don't expect a whole lot from him going forward.

Blake Beavan was sterling in his major-league debut on Sunday afternoon, holding the Padres to just one run on three hits in seven innings of Seattle's 3-1 victory at home. An exceptional outing, but one that needs to be taken with a rather large grain of salt, as Beavan was pitching against perhaps the worst offensive team in baseball in one of its most pitcher-friendly stadiums. He's not currently worth a flier in AL-only leagues.

Mariners purchased the contract of RHP Blake Beavan from Triple-A Tacoma. Beaven will make his major league debut Sunday against the Padres. Although it's an enticing matchup, the 22-year-old can't be counted on in fantasy leagues. He's posted a 4.45 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 16 starts this season at Tacoma.

Blake Beavan will make his major league debut Sunday afternoon against the Padres. The Mariners acquired Beavan last summer in a trade that sent Cliff Lee to Texas. The 22-year-old right-hander has registered a 4.45 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 16 starts this season at the Triple-A level, striking out 64 and walking 20. He can be avoided for fantasy purposes.
