Scott Diamond allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Brewers on Tuesday. The Twins went on to win the game, but Diamond was long gone by the time the outcome was decided. Diamond was staked to a four-run lead but couldn't hold on, allowing eight hits in his 4 2/3 innings of work. The left-hander has been a mixed bag this year after a successful 2012, and his lack of strikeouts makes him unusable for fantasy purposes. His next start will come against the Mariners on Sunday.

Scott Diamond surrendered three runs on nine hits and a walk over 5 2/3 frames in a no-decision loss Thursday to the Tigers. He struck out five. Diamond allowed a two-run homer to Miguel Cabrera and spent the rest of the evening dancing out of self-inflicted danger. Diamond was 3-2 with a 3.03 on May 7. Over his last three starts, he's allowed 15 earned runs and five homers over 15 2/3 innings. Diamond's control is almost as worrisome as the baseballs he's watched fly into the stands. Usually a southpaw with plus command, Diamond has walked seven and struck out just six in his last three outings.

Scott Diamond was hammered for six earned runs in 4 1/3 innings as the Twins lost to the Red Sox on Saturday. It was the second straight outing in which he allowed six runs. Diamond showed some very positive signs in his first two starts of May, but he has quickly fallen back to earth. The left-hander now has a 4.99 ERA and 1.44 ERA in 39 2/3 innings this season and is not relevant outside of deep AL-only fantasy leagues.

Scott Diamond allowed six earned runs in 5 2/3 innings Sunday as the Twins fell to the Orioles. Diamond was brilliant last Tuesday night against the Red Sox, allowing only three hits (and no walks) over seven scoreless innings. But it all fell apart for him on Sunday afternoon at Target Field. The six-run pounding lifted his ERA from 3.03 all the way to 4.08.

Scott Diamond pitched seven scoreless innings as the Twins defeated the Red Sox 6-1 on Tuesday. Diamond allowed just three hits and no walks over his seven innings to earn his third win of the year. The left-hander doesn't strike out a ton of batters, but he manages to get results. He's a much better real-life pitcher than fantasy pitcher, though, so he's best left for AL-only and only the deepest mixed leagues. His next turn will come Sunday against the Orioles.

Scott Diamond yielded two runs and four hits in six innings Wednesday in a win over the Tigers. Diamond is 2-2 with a 3.97 ERA in four starts since coming off the disabled list. He should be worth using in AL-only leagues most weeks, but since he faces the Red Sox in Boston next time out, it wouldn't be a bad idea to bench him.

Scott Diamond didn't have his best stuff in Friday's loss to the Rangers, allowing three runs on 12 hits over 6 1/3 innings. On the plus side, Diamond struck out four on the night without walking a batter. The Rangers jumped on him for a pair of runs in the first inning, and added a solo homer from Adrian Beltre in the sixth. He'll take a 4.32 ERA, 1.56 WHIP into Wednesday's outing where he'll take on the Tigers in Detroit.

Twins activated LHP Scott Diamond from the 15-day disabled list.

Scott Diamond (elbow) is prepared to throw 100 pitches or more in his season debut Saturday against the Mets. Diamond threw 83 pitches over five innings in a minor league rehab start on Sunday, so he's ready to have a pretty standard workload. The Twins are likely hoping they'll have a big enough lead where they won't have to push him right away.

Scott Diamond (elbow) is scheduled to make his season debut on Saturday. He originally was slated to start Friday, but the Twins have decided to push him back a day and let Vance Worley take the ball Friday in the series opener versus the Mets. Diamond, who is coming back from surgery to remove a bone chip from his left elbow, was officially cleared after a successful bullpen session Wednesday. "Everything went good," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said of Diamond's side session. "He should be flying to Minnesota and hopefully he'll beat the snow."
