May 23 2019
The rotation's performance and immediate outlook have suddenly taken a turn for the better. Part of the improvement can be traced to a May turnaround from Mike Fiers (RHP, OAK)—2.52 ERA through four starts following a horrendous 7.83 ERA in five April outings—that looks temporary, given his continued inability to miss bats (5.8 Dom, 7% SwK, 4.65 ERA).
