The 27-year-old was shelled in his last outing Wednesday night, allowing eight earned runs on 14 hits in 5.0 innings. Harang has taken the loss in each of his last eight starts. In a corresponding move, the Phillies activated Chad Billingsley from the DL.

Harang (4-11) was tattooed for 14 hits and eight runs in just five innings Wednesday against the visiting Brewers, who stuck him with his eighth consecutive loss.
If you looked at Harang's 2.02 ERA at the end of May and said, "This is the time to sell high," congratulations; on the flip side, if he's still lingering around on your fantasy roster, it's time to look for better options. Since the start of June, Harang has given up 34 runs (32 earned) in 34.2 innings spanning six starts, making him incredibly hard to trust entering next week's start against the Dodgers.

Harang allowed eight runs on 14 hits over five innings in a loss to the Brewers on Wednesday.
Harang has lost eight straight starts and has a 6.94 ERA over that span. He is now 4-11 with a 4.08 ERA and 73:27 K:BB ratio in 106 innings this season. He will face the Dodgers in his next start.

Harang allowed five runs (four earned) on nine hits, walking one and striking out five over six innings of a 5-2 loss to Washington on Friday night.
After a dazzling April and May, Harang (4-10, 3.56 ERA) has now allowed four or more runs in five consecutive starts, while watching his ERA jump to it's highest level of the season. Playing on a poor team with a steadily rising ERA does not bode well for the veteran's fantasy value in the second half.

Harang struggled again Saturday, losing the decision after allowing four earned runs in six innings with six strikeouts.
Harang wasn't going to have his ERA hover around two forever, but his last four starts have been rough. He allowed at least four runs in each of them and has had his ERA rise up to 3.41. He could turn it around and still provide some benefit to the Phillies, but it's difficult to think he wasn't at peak value during the end of May.

Harang wasn't at his best Monday, taking the loss after allowing four runs in six innings against the Orioles.
The major damage to Harang was done by Matt Wieters, who launched a three-run blast off of the starter in the sixth inning. After posting a 2.02 ERA through the first two months of the season, Harang has allowed 17 runs in three June starts. He'll try to right the ship against the Cardinals this weekend.

Harang (4-6) was awful Thursday, giving up six hits, five walks and six runs (five earned) over 5.2 innings in a loss to the visiting Reds.
After a promising start his last time out -- seven strikeouts without a walk against the Rockies -- this was more of what we expected from Harang, a career-long mediocre pitcher on a bad team. His ERA is still a sparkling 2.45, but his fortune-aided .253 BABIP and career-low 3.8 percent HR/FB mean that regression is coming for Harang, and it'll be painful for his fantasy owners. He'll rematch with the Reds on the road Tuesday.

Harang tossed eight shutout innings, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out six, but came away with a no-decision in the Phillies 1-0 win over Atlanta Friday night.
Harang has a pair of wins to go with a 1.37 ERA in four starts for Philadelphia this year in what has to be one of the biggest early surprises in 2015. He's going very well right now, but expecting these results over the course of a full season might be just a bit optimistic. Enjoy the ride right now.
