What are his BABIP and FIP? Either of those could help indicate whether he is suffering from bad luck or bad fielding behind him. I did a quick sim of MLB through June and he is 5-7 with a 4.30 ERA. However, he has a 3.47 FIP, which indicates that poor fielding behind him is costing him almost a run a game. That FIP seems pretty close to in line with how he performed the previous three seasons.
Other than that, I would say you should just play out the string and hope he turns it around.
