Kendrick solid despite home loss: Philadelphia starter Kyle Kendrick, continuing to pitch in Vance Worleys spot in the rotation, was once again solid on Monday night against Washington. Unfortunately for Kendrick, however, Gio Gonzalez was nearly unhittable in the Washington win. Kendrick took the defeat to fall to 0-4 on the season despite a solid line. Kendrick allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks and lasted seven full innings, throwing 104 pitches. Kendrick struck out four and was hurt by an Ian Desmond homer in the second inning. Kendricks ERA is at 5.23 on the year. (Updated 05/21/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Kendrick has now pitched 13 innings in two starts since taking over for Worley. Despite an 0-1 record in those starts, Kendrick has looked good with just three earned runs allowed on eight hits. Hes limiting the damage and keeping the Phillies in games. Still, we cant call him anything more than an NL-only Fantasy option at this time. Kendrick has another start scheduled for Saturday at St. Louis. (Updated 05/21/2012).
