Fantasy Analysis
Bergmann struggled mightily in his first stint up with the Nationals earlier this season, but won the International League's pitcher of the month award earlier in May, so he obviously found something to work in Triple-A and continued his fine play into Thursday's start. Don't get too excited about this one outing, however, and you might want to wait at least one more start before thinking about adding him in NL-only formats. In Fantasy Week 8 (May 19-25), Bergmann will get one start, against the Phillies at home on Tuesday. He could get another start on Sunday if someone is skipped on the Nationals' off day Thursday, but that's very doubtful. Last year against the Phillies, Bergmann was 0-1 with a 4.18 ERA in five starts. (Updated 05/15/2008).

Advice
