Hisashi Iwakuma (5-5, 4.10) - FRIDAY JUNE 17 - Five of his last six starts have seen total runs go into the double digits. Iwakuma (4-5) was tagged with a tough loss on Sunday afternoon against the Rangers. He gave up just one earned run on four hits while walking one and striking out seven. (Sun Jun 5)
Roenis Elias - (0-0, 16.20) - FRIDAY JUNE 17 - Elias is expected to be called up and start Friday's game against the Mariners, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports. (Tue Jun 14). Elias has limited left-handed hitters to a collective .224 batting average in his career, a big reason why he earned the nod versus Seattle.
Wade Miley (6-3, 5.28) SATURDAY JUNE 18 - Miley allowed three runs on four hits and three walks across just five innings in Sunday's loss to the Rangers. He struck out six. (Sun Jun 12).

Rick Porcello - (7-2, 3.81) - SATURDAY JUNE 18 - Porcello has permitted four or more runs in three of his last four starts. Two of those starts resulted in a total of 19 runs when all was said and done. Another game ended with eight runs and another with eleven.
