Roy Halladay made his first start in over three months Sunday as he returned from a shoulder injury.
Analysis: Halladay pitched 6.0 innings and allowed two earned runs against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He only K’d two batters which is cause for concern considering he was striking out nine batters per nine innings prior to his stint on the disabled list. Overall it was a solid performance but can he be trusted in roto leagues not to blow up your ratios?
Who knows what the rest of the season will hold for Doc Halladay but we do know he is playing for a new contract since the Phillies will not pick up his $20 million 2014 option. It is unclear if Halladay can be trusted considering his velocity is still down and it’s unlikely that he will go deep into games going forward. Perhaps the best move is to use the “wait and see” approach. If you can pick him up and stash him… that isn’t a bad option either.
Halladay is available in 35-80% of fantasy leagues.
