Despaigne (0-1) allowed eight runs -- three earned -- on five hits and three walks while striking out four batters over 4.2 innings during Saturday's loss to the Mets.
Both Justin Bour and Martin Prado made fielding errors that led to five unearned runs, so Despaigne's outing probably wasn't as bad as the stat line. However, his career 4.90 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 5.4 K/9 and 4.41 FIP are hardly fantasy-relevant numbers. If he sticks in the rotation for another start, Despaigne lines up to face the Braves, which projects as an easier matchup.
