Mengden allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over 5.2 innings against the Angels on Saturday.
Mengden didn't start the season on a positive note as he was pushed around by the Angels for five extra-base hits. He's had mixed success across 21 career starts and was solid in seven starts in 2017, but he isn't likely to generate a lot of strikeouts and will get pushed around by stronger lineups. At best, he is a streaming option when he has a positive matchup or a two-start week.
