Say Goodbye To: Matt Herges, Reynel Pinto
Rockies RP Matt Herges, a staple out of the bullpen in the early going, worked a disastrous third of an inning Monday at Philadelphia. He gave up four runs on six hit and one walk, raising his ERA from 2.63 to 3.90. Herges has allowed seven earned runs in his last four appearances — a span of 4 1/3 innings. He is quickly losing momentum after a hot start and is looking more like the reliever with a career 3.76 ERA. As a middle reliever, he has appeal only in the deepest of NL-only leagues. (CBS Sports)
Marlins RP Renyel Pinto, who had a 0.70 ERA on May 11, has now allowed a run in three of his last six outings and has seen his ERA double to 1.41. Despite his recent struggles, Pinto is still having a solid season as the Marlins setup man. He is of some use to Fantasy owners in deeper NL-only leagues that use true middle relievers and he’s also become a decent cheap source for holds. (CBS Sports)

Meet the New Guys: Jorge Campillo, Mat Gamel
Braves SP Jorge Campillo, surprisingly good in his first three starts, has hit a bump in the road in two starts since. He allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings Sunday against the Phillies, striking out two. He didn’t factor in the decision. Campillo has a 6.75 ERA but only a 2.17 ERA overall. The longtime minor-league journeyman was pitching way over his head earlier in the season and probably doesn’t deserve a look outside of NL-only leagues. His next start is scheduled for Saturday at the Angels. (CBS Sports)
Mat Gamel’s prospect status has risen nicely in Double-A this season. He has posted an amazing .382-13-51-57-4 (.454-.668) and outperformed more elite prospect and teammate Matt LaPorta. Gamel’s Fantasy ownership is now over 1 percent because of his Bugs Bunny numbers and the fact Bill Hall has stunk and is whining his way out of Milwaukee. Consider Gamel a potential surprise arrivee in the coming months and a sleeper in deeper formats. Long term, he looks to us like a Kevin Kouzmanoff-type. (CBS Sports)

Say Goodbye To: Figueroa, James, Murton
The Mets outrighted pitcher Nelson Figueroa to the minor leagues. He had been designated for assignment. Figueroa is nothing more than middle reliever or high-risk spot starter if he makes his return to the majors this season. Cut and ignore the journeyman in all Fantasy leagues. (CBS Sports)
The Braves sent left-handed pitcher Chuck James to the minors for the third time Friday and recalled reliever Phil Stockman from Triple-A Richmond. James started the year in the minors while rehabbing from a shoulder injury, and has been sent back twice to Richmond since then. He was an 11-game winner for the Braves each of the last two years. James (2-3) was demoted to Richmond after getting tagged in a 5-0 loss at Philadelphia. He surrendered three homers, walked five without striking out anyone, and gave up all five runs. His ERA rose to 8.22 in five starts. He’ll be up at some point, but his value is limited to larger NL-only leagues. (CBS Sports)
Cubs OF Matt Murton, who was last with the big club in late April, is hitting .368 through 95 at-bats at Triple-A Iowa, including .600 (6-for-10) over his last three games. Murton has a career .295 average in 844 major-league at-bats and is clearly too good for the minors. But the Cubs don’t trust his defense enough to call him up to the big club permanently. He’d need a trade to make any kind of Fantasy impact. (CBS Sports)

Meet the New Guys: Bergmann, Reynolds, Miles
Jason Bergmann: Playing for the lowly Nationals has been rough on young Bergmann, who has at times pitched better than his record suggests. Bergmann went three straight starts from May 15 to May 26 without giving up a run, but has since let nine men score in his last two outings. He looked like a must-add in all Fantasy formats for a while, but has since come down to Earth. Continue to use Bergmann in NL-only formats and keep watch to see if he can bounce back. (CBS Sports)
Greg Reynolds: Reynolds, the second overall pick in the 2006 draft, had his sinker working, breaking four Brewer bats as he picked up his first win in six starts. He remains, however, only a stopgap option for the Rockies and should only be starting in NL-only Fantasy leagues. Reynolds next starts Friday at the Chicago White Sox. (CBS Sports)
Aaron Miles: Miles was coming off a nice series against Tampa Bay, and he is batting .458 (22-for-48) in interleague play the last two seasons and .349 (61-for-175) for his career. Manager Tony La Russa continues to rotate Adam Kennedy, Brendan Ryan and Miles at second and hit them in the No. 2 hole in front of Albert Pujols. However, it hurts their Fantasy value since none of them have an everyday role. All three players are just NL-only Fantasy options. (CBS Sports)
