After spending way too long on the DL, Drew Smyly returned from a shoulder injury to give owners a line of 4.0 IP, 5 ER, 7 Hits, 2 BBs, 4 Ks.

Guys need some time to get back into the groove and be effective, and I wouldn't judge Smyly too harshly after this performance. If you don't recall, he had a solid three starts to begin the year and could easily have a sneaky September to propel you to a trophy. I'd be holding him in 12 teamers and hoping for a solid rebound in O.Co.
