Trending Down: José Tavares, RHP, Reading

Tavares has been back and forth between Reading and Lehigh Valley over the last year or so. He started this season on the disabled list and made his first start of the year on May 22 against New Hampshire.

In that start, he pitched very well, throwing 5.1 shutout innings and only giving up two hits. Since then, however, Tavares has not pitched as well.

On May 27 against Portland, he only lasted three innings and gave up two runs in a loss. His last time out on June 1 against Richmond was even worse. He pitched 4.0 innings, giving up six runs on seven hits, bringing his ERA up to 5.84.

It is still early in the year for him, but so far, Tavares has not been great for the Fightin Phils.
