Matt Shoemaker - Worth a flier?

He slipped through our AL only auction draft, then got picked up week 2 to be cut again. I'd just be dropping Bryan Garcia DET who was a SV+Hld flier that hasn't really worked out.

He seems to go from great to terrible each start. However I think the Twins are terribly underperforming and should bounce back fairly strong so it might be a good time to roll the dice again.

Thoughts?

I picked up Shoemaker in my AL only as a stash. I'll probably play matchups until he either shows worthy of being left in the lineup or a cut. So I guess it depends on the format and if you have to use him right away.

Trav, as you probably are aware Shoemaker is injury prone and as you noted he goes hot and cold. FWIW I'd use him as a streamer and for the weeks you reserve him I'd use a RP if you didn't have a viable SP to swap in.
