Jeff Locke

Jeff Locke was designated for assignment by the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, a day after what was a historically poor performance in which he allowed 11 runs in less than three innings to the St. Louis Cardinals. He had an 8.16 ERA and 1.78 WHIP in seven starts.

Fantasy Impact

Locke had one good start when he was activated off the disabled list in June, but he got steadily worse and did not throw a quality start in any of his seven chances. He was not relevant for fantasy purposes and will likely remain that way going forward.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jeff Locke was destroyed on Monday night, allowing 11 runs on 11 hits and four walks in just 2 2/3 innings.

Fantasy Impact

Locke was awful, setting the record for worst start in Marlins history. He allowed more than twice the number of runs as the number of outs he recorded. The Marlins starting rotation is a poorly-written joke. Locke's ERA is 8.16.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jeff Locke got off to a rough start on Wednesday before settling in, but he still took the loss. He tossed 5 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks.

Fantasy Impact

Locke allowed all three runs in the first inning and had a nice streak going in the middle innings. He's struggled to an 0-4 record and a 5.52 ERA so far this season.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jeff Locke struggled to get outs again on Thursday, lasting just four innings while allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks. He struck out two and saw his record drop to 0-3.

Fantasy Impact

Locke hasn't been good since starting his season late due to injury. He's basically throwing batting practice, but the Marlins don't really have any better starting pitching options. Locke will continue to get starts for the Fish, but he shouldn't be starting on any fantasy teams.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jeff Locke struggled on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits in just four innings. He walked one and struck out five.

Fantasy Impact

Locke has been just okay as a Marlin, pitching to a 4.58 ERA so far. He's a decent NL-only option, but mixed league players should look elsewhere for starting pitching.
