Latest News
| Justin Grimm gets vote of confidence |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/14/13) Rangers starter Justin Grimm, who allowed five runs over five innings in a loss to Oakland Monday, was given a vote of confidence by manager Ron Washington Tuesday, the Dallas Morning News reports.
"I’m not concerned about him," Washington said. "Each game that he lost, he kept us in the game. He’s out there battling and fighting."
Grimm, who will make his next start against Detroit Saturday, insists this rough patch won't break him.
"April was a lot more fun," Grimm said. "But I’m going to keep my head high, do my work and turn the corner. It’s more fun when things are going good for you. You have to find ways to stay mentally strong when they aren’t."

| Justin Grimm hit hard again |
by Adam Moore | CBSSports.com
(5/14/13) Rangers pitcher Justin Grimm was pegged with his third straight loss during Monday's series opener against the Athletics. Grimm, who made his sixth start, allowed five runs on seven hits over five innings in a 5-1 defeat.
The right-hander surrendered a pair of runs in the second before being touched up for two runs in the third on back-to-back solo home runs by Yoenis Cespedes and Brandon Moss.
He was pulled after hitting Daric Barton with a pitch in the sixth and finished with three strikeouts and two walks, while taking his third straight loss.
Grimm, who is 0-3 with a 7.05 ERA over his last three starts, is scheduled to face the Tigers at home Saturday night.

| Justin Grimm knocked around against Brewers |
by Adam Moore | CBSSports.com
(5/7/13) Rangers pitcher Justin Grimm was knocked around a bit Tuesday against the Brewers. Grimm, who made his fifth start, allowed a season-high five runs on eight eights over five innings in the 6-3 defeat.
All five runs he surrendered came in the first inning as he allowed the first three batters he faced to reach base, including Ryan Braun who singled home the first run of the game. Carlos Gomez doubled home two runs two batters later before Yuniesky Betancourt put the finishing touches on the frame by belting a two-run home run.
Grimm was able to limit Milwaukee to just three hits over his next four innings of work but the damage had already been done. He was pulled after throwing 99 pitches and finished with seven strikeouts and three walks, while taking his second straight loss.
Grimm (2-2) will look to get back in the win column when he faces the Athletics in Oakland Sunday.

| Justin Grimm showing some solid numbers |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(5/6/13) Rangers rookie pitcher Justin Grimm has gotten off to a strong start this year.
Grimm's high strikeout totals have been surprising this year. His current 23.5 percent strikeout rate is higher than most of the rates he's shown in the minors. Grimm has been relying on his curveball for strikeouts in the majors. With two strikes, he's thrown the pitch 33 percent of the time against lefties and 38 percent of the time against righties.
It's unclear if Grimm's curve has been good enough to fool major-league hitters, or if teams haven't been able to study video of Grimm yet. Grimm has been solid in both starts against the Mariners, the only team to have seen him twice this year. As long as he continues to strikeout a batter per inning, Grimm is going to have some Fantasy value. His next start will come against the Brewers Tuesday.

| Justin Grimm strikes out nine in loss |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(5/2/13) Making his fourth start of the year on the day he was named the AL Rookie of the Month for April, Rangers starting pitcher Justin Grimm struck out nine batters but surrendered three earned runs on six hits and four walks in 6 2/3 innings against the White Sox Thursday, taking his first loss of the season.
The nine strikeouts matched a career high set on April 21 against the Mariners, but Grimm's ERA rose to 2.28 in the quality start. He'll face the Brewers in Milwaukee in his next start.

Waiver Wire: Looking for some relief?
Heath Bell and Junichi Tazawa are drawing plenty of interest in Fantasy with their recent role changes. Our Nando Di Fino speaks to their value and helps prioritize your waiver claims.

| Justin Grimm made five appearances for the Rangers in 2012, giving up 14 earned runs in 14 innings, with a 1.79 WHIP. But don't let the messy debut fool you -- across two minor league levels in 2012, Grimm had a 2.81 ERA and 1.14 WHIP, striking out 103 batters in 134 2/3 innings. While he's been mentioned as a possible candidate for the final spot in the Texas rotation, Grimm is likely headed back to the minors for at least the start of the season. He'll have some value as a pick-up in AL-only leagues eventually, and is a solid late keeper selection, but his lack of big strikeout numbers prevent him from being a player you should chase in drafts, outside of the deeper AL-only leagues.
