John Lannan delivered another impressive performance in Saturday's no-decision against the White Sox, surrendering just one run on four hits over eight strong innings.

Lannan punched out three and walked one, needing just 90 pitches to breeze through eight frames. Gordon Beckham's fifth inning sacrifice fly provided all of the damage against the veteran left-hander. He's been fantastic since returning from the disabled list, posting a 2.84 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 21/11 K/BB ratio in 38 innings. He's certainly worth a look as a matchup play in mixed leagues.

John Lannan shut out his old team for eight innings Monday in the Phillies' 3-2 win over the Nationals.

That had to feel good for the left-hander, who went from an Opening Day starter in 2011 to a minor leaguer for most of 2012. Lannan has faced the Nationals twice this year and pitched well both times. Unfortunately, his ERA against everyone else is 5.40.

John Lannan was knocked around for four runs on 11 hits and three walks over five innings in Wednesday's loss to the Pirates.

Lannan entered the fifth with a 1-0 lead, but Pedro Alvarez followed a Russell Martin RBI single with a three-run jack. Of course, the lefty had been lucky to hold the Pirates scoreless to that point, as he pitched out of jams in the first, second and third innings. He'll take a 5.15 ERA and 1.53 WHIP into next week's home start versus his former team, the Nationals.

John Lannan pitched seven innings of one-run ball against the Dodgers for his first win as a Phillie on Friday.

Lannan could have given up 10 runs and still won this one. The Phillies are actually 4-2 in his six starts, but events had conspired against him until the rout tonight. Lannan will get the Pirates next time out.

John Lannan allowed six runs -- four earned -- over five innings Sunday in a loss to the Mets.

Lannan was not sharp, yielding three walks and eight hits while throwing only 54 of his 89 pitches for strikes. He has a 5.84 ERA in 24 2/3 innings this season and seems doubtful to carry significant fantasy value at any point. The lefty will face the Dodgers next.

John Lannan yielded two runs in five innings versus the Nationals in his return to the Phillies rotation Monday.

That's the prototypical Lannan start. He was in line for the victory when he left tonight, but Jonathan Papelbon blew the save in the ninth. Of course, that's part of Lannan's problem; that he doesn't pitch more than five or six innings gives his bullpen more opportunities to blow leads.

Phillies activated LHP John Lannan from the 15-day disabled list.

Lannan will return to the Phillies' starting rotation on Monday night against the Nationals after missing the past two months with a strained left quad. The 28-year-old left-hander is not a great fantasy bet.

John Lannan (quad) will be activated from the disabled list to start next Monday against the Nationals.

Lannan, out since April 17 with a strained left quad muscle, was cleared to return after he allowed two runs in seven innings Wednesday in his most recent rehab start with Double-A Reading. The southpaw isn't really an option outside of NL-only fantasy leagues, but he should do for as an innings-eater for Philadelphia.

John Lannan (quad) yielded two runs in seven innings Wednesday in a rehab start at Double-A Reading.

Lannan, who has been on the disabled list since April 17 with a strained left quadriceps muscle, deemed himself fit for major league games after the productive rehab outing. "Every day you just look for something that got better from the day before," said Lannan, who threw four innings at High-A Clearwater last Friday. "I just pounded the strike zone and felt much better than the last time out."

John Lannan (quad) made his first rehab start Friday with High-A Clearwater.

Lannan allowed two runs (one earned) and had five strikeouts over four innings before he was removed from the game. Assuming he avoids setbacks, he should be an option the Phillies' starting rotation later this month.

John Lannan (quad) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Thursday with High-A Clearwater.

Lannan has been sidelined since April 17 with a strained left quadriceps muscle, but he's finally ready to return to game action. Barring any setbacks, the southpaw could rejoin the Phillies' rotation later this month.

John Lannan (quad) is aiming to begin a rehab assignment on June 6.

Lannan threw a simulated game on Wednesday and will make one more appearance in extended spring training before hopefully joining a minor league affiliate. Assuming all goes well, he'll likely looking at a mid-June return to the Phillies' rotation. The lefty has been out since mid-April with a strained left quad muscle.

John Lannan (quad) is scheduled to face hitters next Wednesday.

It will be the first time he's done so since going on the disabled list. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro said Lannan "is doing very well. He feels good." The left-hander could rejoin the rotation in a few weeks if all goes well.

John Lannan (quad) threw a bullpen session on Saturday afternoon in Clearwater, Florida.

Lannan will throw off a mound again on Monday and should then progress to simulated games. If all goes well, he will join the Phillies at some point in early June. He's been on the disabled list since April 18 with a quad strain.

Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said Thursday that John Lannan (quadriceps) could miss 6-8 weeks.

Lannan was placed on the disabled list Thursday with a strained left quadriceps muscle. Manuel said it's possible that the southpaw could return sooner, but it sounds like he's looking at a lengthy absence. No word yet on who will replace him in the rotation, but Tyler Cloyd is the most logical option.

Phillies placed LHP John Lannan on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left quadriceps muscle.

Lannan suffered the injury Wednesday while allowing six runs over just 1 2/3 innings against the Reds. He has a 6.14 ERA and 7/2 K/BB ratio in 14 2/3 total frames this season. It's not clear how long he will be out.

John Lannan will have his left knee examined on Thursday by the Phillies' team doctor.

Lannan admitted that the knee bothered him during Wednesday's start, which might at least partly explain why he lasted just 1 2/3 innings while giving up six runs on eight hits and a walk. The left-hander's next scheduled start is slated to come Monday against the Pirates, but if he has to miss some time, Tyler Cloyd would be an option to fill in.

John Lannan pitched well again in a no-decision against the Marlins on Friday, surrendering just one run on three hits over his six innings of work.

Lannan struck out two in the game while issuing one free pass. He's looked very solid through his first two starts as a Phillie, posting a 2.77 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 7/1 K/BB ratio in 13 innings. While he'll never be a high-strikeout performer, he's worth a serious look as a streaming option in deeper mixed leagues.

John Lannan allowed three runs in seven innings but took a no-decision in the Phillies' win over the Royals on Saturday.

Lannan was better than the line suggests, as he didn't give up a hit until a Jeff Francoeur double in the fifth inning. In total, he allowed five hits and no walks while striking out five. He's got another potentially attractive start coming up Friday against the Marlins, but even so, he's only usable in NL-only leagues at this point.

John Lannan was left in to give up 12 runs in four innings Monday against the Blue Jays.

The Jays took advantage of a stiff breeze blowing out to center to collect two homers, a triple and three doubles off Lannan. The left-hander entered the day with a 3.21 ERA in four spring starts.
