Fantasy Analysis
Maholm was coming off a rough loss to the Rockies as he allowed five runs in six innings. But he bounced back Tuesday and has allowed two or fewer runs in four of his last five outings. He's not a big strikeout pitcher, and he probably won't win many games for the Pirates, but he deserves a look in mixed leagues right now. His next scheduled start is for Sunday against the Padres.
