Wolf goes seven in ND : Brewers starter Randy Wolf did not factor into the decision during Monday night's contest against the Giants. Wolf, who was making his ninth outing of the year, allowed three runs on five hits over seven innings. All three runs he surrendered came in the first inning on a Buster Posey three-run home run. However, the left-hander was able to limit San Francisco to just three hits over his final five innings of work. He was pulled after throwing 113 pitches and finished with four strikeouts and three walks, while earning the no-decision. (Updated 05/22/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
It looked like it was going to be another long night for Wolf after his rocky first inning but the veteran was able to clamp down and turned in a solid outing for the Brewers. The seven innings he logged on Monday were a season-high as Wolf has struggled to pitch deep into games this season and he is now winless over his last four outings. He will look to get himself back into the win column when he makes his next start, which is scheduled for Sunday at Arizona. Wolf has gone 7-2 with a 3.43 ERA in nine career starts at Chase Field. Continue to view the left-hander as a viable option in NL-only formats heading into his next outing. (Updated 05/22/2012).
05/22/2012 01:00 Sanchez's HR in 14th wins it for Giants

Corey Hart hit an RBI single in the 13th inning to give the Milwaukee Brewers an 8-7 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Friday.
With the additions of starters Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum in the offseason, Randy Wolf had more protection in the rotation last season and was able to improve in his second year in Milwaukee. He remained consistent throughout the season as he posted a 3.65 ERA in the first half and a 3.73 mark in his 14 starts after the All-Star break. The left-hander matched the 13 wins he posted in 2010 but was able to decrease his ERA significantly. He also threw 200-plus innings for the third straight year and walked just 66 batters. The 35-year-old does not have a ton of pressure on him and thanks to a potent Brewers offense, he should be able to reach double-digit wins for the fifth straight season in 2012. Since he does not stand out in any one category, target Wolf in deeper mixed leagues on Draft Day. (Updated 2/21/12)
