Nippert relieves like a starter: Rangers RP Dustin Nippert pitched seven innings Monday against the Angels in the longest relief outing in the majors this season. He gave up one run and allowed four hits -- one of which was Torii Hunter's solo homer in the seventh inning. He also issued one walk and recorded four strikeouts. (Updated 07/08/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
As badly as SP Luis Mendoza pitched, the Rangers might actually consider replacing him with Nippert -- well, they might if Nippert himself didn't have a 9.77 ERA. Leave both pitchers for deeper AL-only leagues. (Updated 07/08/2008).
