Maurer gave up four runs without recording an out in Thursday's blowout loss to the Diamondbacks.
Manager Andy Green decided to deploy his closer in the eighth inning of an 11-run game because Maurer hadn't pitched in four days. Fantasy owners probably wish he hadn't, as the reliever experienced his worst outing of the season, raising his ERA to 6.75 in the process. The 26-year-old has regained the closing role in San Diego after briefly giving way to Brad Hand, but his propensity to get blown up in non-save situations (7.44 ERA over 12.1 non-save innings) limits his fantasy value.
