Sun Jun 9 2013 | 16:26 | Josh Johnson struggles against Rangers |
Josh Johnson yielded three runs on five hits and four walks over just five innings in Sunday's loss to the Rangers. |
Johnson was unable to consistently find the strike zone all day, as he required 109 pitches to complete the five frames. He's now been good in one start and bad in another since coming back from the DL, which accurately describes his season so far. He'll carry a 5.40 ERA and 1.64 WHIP into a tough matchup in Texas next weekend. |

Wed Jun 5 2013 | 01:13 | Josh Johnson strikes out six in return |
Josh Johnson was effective in his return from the DL, allowing two runs -- one earned -- over seven innings in a loss to the Giants. |
Johnson gave up a two-run homer to Andres Torres in the second after an Edwin Encarnacion throwing error opened the frame. Unfortunately, that was all the Giants would need tonight in a 2-1 game. Johnson struck out six and walked none, so it was an encouraging performance after a six-week absence. He'll get the White Sox next. |

Fri May 31 2013 | 20:46 | Josh Johnson (triceps) to return Tuesday |
Josh Johnson (triceps) will be activated from the disabled list to start Tuesday against the Giants. |
Johnson gave up six runs on eight hits in 4 2/3 innings Thursday in his third rehab start, but the important part is that he feels good. The 29-year-old right-hander has been sidelined since April 21 with right triceps inflammation. He had a 6.86 ERA over his first four starts, so fantasy owners may want to wait and see before activating him. |

Josh Johnson (triceps) struck out three over four scoreless innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday. |
Johnson is looking good and, more importantly, feeling healthy, but he'll need one more rehab start before rejoining the Blue Jays' rotation. He held a 6.86 ERA and 1.88 WHIP in four starts before getting injury but is a good DL stash if he's been dropped in your league. |
