Ryan Vogelsong blanked the Twins for 6 2/3 innings, striking out seven, to pick up a win on Saturday. Vogelsong looked done two months ago. He looked pretty well done one more ago. Yet now he's allowed a total of six runs in his last six starts, lowering his ERA from 7.71 to 3.20. We still don't trust him entirely, but there isn't more than one or two guys pitching better than he is right now.

Ryan Vogelsong earned the win with seven shutout innings against the Marlins as the Giants went on to win 4-1 on Sunday. The Marlins, without Giancarlo Stanton in the lineup, weren't able to get much going offensively against Vogelsong. The right-hander allowed only five hits and a walk while striking out six, lowering his ERA to 3.62. Vogelsong will go for his third win next weekend against the Twins at home.

Ryan Vogelsong tossed six innings of one-run ball in the Giants' defeat of the Braves on Saturday. It was the second straight dominant outing for Vogelsong, who yielded just two hits over seven shutout innings last Sunday against the Indians. He struck out six Atlanta hitters on Saturday and came away with his first win of 2014. The right-hander will face the Dodgers in Los Angeles next. It's not a good fantasy matchup.

Ryan Vogelsong allowed just two hits over seven shutout innings but took a no-decision against the Indians on Sunday. Vogelsong was unlucky not to earn his first win of the year, as Yan Gomes took Santiago Casilla deep to tie the game after Vogelsong exited. During his outing, the right-hander allowed just two singles to Michael Bourn and also walked two on the afternoon. He also struck out six. He'll seek his first win when he travels to face the Braves on Saturday.

Ryan Vogelsong was lit up for five runs in 1 1/3 innings by the Rockies in Coors Field on Monday. Vogelsong has given the Giants one decent start in four tries. He has a 7.71 ERA right now, he was brutal this spring and he's coming off a year in which he had a 5.73 ERA. It's apparent to us that the team would be better off starting Yusmeiro Petit in his spot. We don't expect the switch to come right away, but one more ugly start might do it.

Ryan Vogelsong got back on track against the Dodgers on Wednesday, giving up one run over six innings in a no-decision. The 36-year-old right-hander struck out a pair and walked two more. Not much could have been reasonably expected of Vogelsong after he posted an ugly 5.73 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 67/38 K/BB ratio over 103 2/3 innings last summer, and he pitched even worse over his first two starts this season (8.00 ERA, 1.89 WHIP, and a .350 opponent's batting average). Because of those reasons, he's probably going to rest easy tonight. Fantasy owners shouldn't be quick to buy, here: Vogelsong has a tough matchup in Colorado on Monday.

Ryan Vogelsong wasn't impressive on Thursday, giving up four runs on seven hits over five innings in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks. He gave up a walk and struck out five. Vogelsong exits his first two starts of 2014 with ugly numbers all over: 8.00 ERA, 1.89 WHIP, and a .350 opponent's batting average. He should be considered radioactive to mixed league lineups next week against the Dodgers, against whom he surrendered four runs on seven hits over four innings last Friday.

Ryan Vogelsong was scratched from his scheduled Saturday start for fear the game will be rained out. The scratch had nothing to do with Vogelsong's health, so that's good. The team just wants him to be able to get his work in, so the right-hander will throw in a minor league game in Arizona instead. Vogelsong is penciled into the rotation but a poor spring leaves him on very thin ice to start the year.

Ryan Vogelsong allowed four runs in four innings in his start against the Angels on Monday. Vogelsong allowed eight hits and walked two while striking out two. He now has a 9.00 ERA on the spring, a result of poor results in three out of his last four outings. The combination of his poor 2013 showing, his unfavorable results this spring, and reports of diminished velocity should be more than enough to scare fantasy owners away.

Ryan Vogelsong was rocked for nine runs -- eight earned -- on 11 hits over 2 2/3 innings versus the Indians Tuesday. Vogelsong allowed a solo homer to Yan Gomes in the second and then a three-run shot to Jeff Francoeur as part of a seven-run third inning. The right-hander's velocity has been down this spring, but he pitched well his previous time out. Those in mixed leagues should avoid the right-hander.
