Josh Collmenter removed from rotation

After giving up four home runs in his last start, Josh Collmenter was moved to the bullpen and Allen Webster was recalled from Triple-A Reno to take his place and will start Saturday. Collmenter was 3-6 with a 5.24 ERA in 12 games started. (Zach Buchanan)
Fantasy Impact:
Never a power pitcher, Collmenter's average fastball velocity this season is down to 84.4 MPH. His unique delivery and the corresponding movement have not been enough to compensate for the decreased velocity. He has always performed better in the bullpen, but even with some improvement it will not be enough to help fantasy squads. If he was on your very deep, NL-only team, it is time to cut your losses.
