Fantasy Analysis
Medlen is being used primarily out of the bullpen by the Braves this season and had a solid outing on Friday. He has shown his value through eight appearances and should continue to see work in the middle innings. But since hie role hinders his value in Fantasy, continue to ignore Medlen in the majority of formats. (Updated 04/27/2012).
