Feldman gets spot start, wins game: Rangers SP Scott Feldman, expected to move to the bullpen but forced to start because Eric Hurley has stiffness in his left shoulder, won his third straight decision Monday at the White Sox. He gave up one run on four hits in six innings, walking three and striking out one. "I sort of got into trouble a couple times, but I was able to make a good pitch and get a ground ball," he said. "I was trying to get ground balls, and when you're doing that you have to have a good defense, and we had a great defense tonight turning those double plays." (Updated 07/22/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
The good start doesn't buy Feldman a new opportunity. The Rangers moved him to the bullpen more to preserve his arm than anything else. He had actually become one of their more effective pitchers in his last stint as a starter. Consider this game an isolated spot start and use Feldman only in deeper AL-only leagues that use true middle men. (Updated 07/22/2008).
