Description: Nationals starter Dan Haren had his best start of the season Thursday against Atlanta, going eight innings and allowing four hits and one earned run and striking out four. | Insight: Haren allowed 38 hits and 17 earned runs in 24 1/3 innings over his first five starts this season, and he's still a risky play until he provides some consistency. Two quality starts in a row is a nice place to start. | | |

Description: Nationals starter Dan Haren gave up seven hits, seven runs (three earned) and one homer in 4 1/3 innings at Miami Tuesday night. | Insight: Haren has been bombed for 26 hits and 12 earned runs in 13 1/3 innings this year. His next start will likely come against the Cardinals next week. | | |
| 12/5/2012 6:13:00 PM |
Description: Righthander Dan Haren signed a one-year, $13 million deal with the Nationals on Tuesday. | Insight: Haren figures to be the team's fourth or fifth starter behind Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez, Jordan Zimmermann and possibly Ross Detwiler. Haren has been dealing with a bad hip recently but he's still expected to be a full-go for Spring Training in a couple of months. | | |
| 11/26/2012 9:39:00 PM |
Description: Dan Haren's bad hip could prevent him from receiving a long-term deal this offseason. | Insight: ESPN's Buster Olney reported the injury. Perhaps this is why Haren's trade to the Cubs fell through earlier in the month. The Padres have shown the most interest in Haren this offseason and we're guessing that's where he'll eventually end up. | | |
| 11/10/2012 3:22:00 PM |
Description: Ken Rosenthal from Fox Sports spoke to a major league executive who believes righthander Dan Haren will sign with the Padres this offseason. | Insight: Haren was raised in Southern California so playing in San Diego would seem like a good fit for the veteran. He's 2-2 with a 3.49 ERA in nine career appearances at Petco Park. | | |
| 11/3/2012 9:21:00 AM |
Description: The Angels have declined starter Dan Haren's $15.5 million option for 2013. | Insight: Haren was nearly traded to the Chicago Cubs for Carlos Marmol Friday night but the deal fell through at the 11th hour and the Angels were forced to make a decision on the 2013 option prior to the midnight deadline. | | |
| 11/2/2012 11:04:00 PM |
Description: The reported trade of Carlos Marmol for Dan Haren has fallen apart, according to the Associated Press. | Insight: Haren was reportedly traded to the Chicago Cubs for Marmol, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, but FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal said the Cubs pulled the deal off the table. The Angels will likely keep shopping Haren but they were trying to beat the midnight deadline to decide on his $15.5 million team option for 2013 and they are running out of time. | | |
| 11/1/2012 11:22:00 AM |
Description: The Red Sox are interested in acquiring Angels starter Dan Haren according to the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo. | Insight: Another washed up Anaheim starter who makes too much money? This probably wouldn't be the best way for general manager Ben Cherington to utilize Boston's newly found financial flexibility, unless it rids the team of John Lackey or any other bad contracts the Red Sox still have. | | |
| 10/31/2012 10:03:00 PM |
Description: The Angels will attempt to deal starting pitcher Dan Haren within the next two days according to ESPN's Jim Bowden. | Insight: Los Angeles has until Friday to decide whether or not to pick up Haren's option for next season but it seems like they'd rather just trade him. By cleaning house (Los Angeles dealt starter Ervin Santana earlier in the day) the Angels seem to be putting themselves in a good position to land a top-flight free agent like Zack Greinke or Kyle Lohse. | | |
| Cold | 8/17/2012 8:13:00 PM |
Description: The Angels will skip Dan Haren's start the next time through the rotation. | Insight: This means Haren won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox though he remains on track to pitch again next Saturday against Detroit. It looked like Haren was starting to get into a groove after a strong three-game stretch that carried over into August (2-0, 2.00 ERA) but he has gotten off track again in his last two starts (0-2, 12.85). | | |
| 8/2/2012 6:58:00 PM |
Description: Angels starter Dan Haren (back) will start Sunday after being scratched from Wednesday start due to back stiffness, according to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times. | Insight: Haren (4.76 ERA) tossed a bullpen session Thursday without any issues. He recently spent time on the DL for the first time in his career with lower back issues, but his most recent injury was unrelated. | | |
| 7/30/2012 7:25:00 PM |
Description: Angels starter Dan Haren (back) may be scratched from his start Wednesday due to back stiffness, according to Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com. | Insight: Haren (4.76 ERA) just returned from his first career disabled list stint. Fortunately, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said the stiffness is higher than the back injury that landed him on the DL. | | |
| 7/22/2012 10:55:00 PM |
Description: Angels starter Dan Haren (back) rejoined the big league rotation Sunday after his first career DL stint. | Insight: Haren (4.76 ERA) allowed 26 runs in 27 innings before he was placed on the disabled list with lower back stiffness, but he was able to hold Texas to two runs on three hits in six innings (95 pitches) Sunday. Haren has allowed 125 hits in 109 2/3 innings this season, but he should improve upon that now that he's healthy. | | |
| 7/15/2012 6:10:00 PM |
Description: Angels starter Dan Haren (back) is expected to rejoin the big league rotation on July 22, according to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times. | Insight: Haren will make a minor league rehab start Monday or Tuesday after coming out from Saturday's bullpen session with no issues. | | |
| 7/5/2012 9:14:00 PM |
Description: Angels starter Dan Haren has been moved to the 15-day DL. He's suffering from lower back stiffness. | Insight: Haren has been awful recently (9.14 ERA in his last four outings) and it's very possible that the bad back has been affecting his performance. Haren has actually been shockingly durable throughout his career: this is the first DL stint Haren has had to endure in 10 seasons in the major leagues. | | |
| Cold | 7/4/2012 11:36:00 AM |
Description: Angels starter Dan Haren is questionable for Sunday's scheduled start against Baltimore with a sore back. | Insight: The Angels righty is just 6-8 with a 4.86 ERA and 1.408 WHIP. He's lucky to have six wins as he's been the beneficiary of Angels offensive power, winning two of his last three starts while yielding five or more runs. | | |
| 7/3/2012 10:49:00 AM |
Description: Angels starter Dan Haren won for the third time in four starts last Thursday, but that doesn't mean he's pitching well. He's yielded 20 earned runs in his last 22 2/3 innings pitched. | Insight: The Angels have supported him with an average of seven runs per game over the span. If its a win you are looking for, he might still be able to produce that, but at the moment his 7.94 ERA and 1.808 WHIP won't help your other fantasy statistics. | | |
| 6/9/2012 10:39:00 PM |
Description: Angels starter Dan Haren won for the third time in his last four starts Saturday in Los Angeles' 11-5 victory over the Rockies. Haren allowed 10 hits and four earned runs in 5.1 innings. The Angels righthander also surrendered four homers in the 107-pitch outing. | Insight: Giving up four homers in one start is never good but luckily for Haren (4-6, 3.72 ERA) they were all solo shots. Balls tend to carry pretty well at Coors Field so you can expect a better outing from Haren next time he takes the hill. | | |
| 5/25/2012 4:27:00 PM |
Description: Dan Haren struck out 14 Mariners in a four-hit complete game shutout on Thursday. | Insight: This is the performance fantasy owners have been waiting for. Haren came in having lost four straight starts with a 5.79 ERA in that span. He's still just 2-5 on the year, but better times should be ahead for the righty. | | |
| 5/20/2012 9:14:00 AM |
Description: Dan Haren gave up three runs on six hits in 6 2/3 innings against the Padres on Saturday but the Angels failed to provide him with run support, causing the right-hander to drop to 1-5. | Insight: Haren has lost four straight starts. He hasn't pitched great this season but he's certainly pitched well enough to win more than one game. The Angels have lost eight of the nine games Haren started this season, and they've been shut out in three of them. | | |
