Yes, of course, it’s just shoulder fatigue, but we are at a point where he needs to be shut down for August and then even in September he should alternate starts. For as strong as Carlos has been this season, pumping triple-digits on his last pitches of outings, it’s a lot to ask him to jump from “no pitching” to a 175+ innings workload.Whether Michael Kopech himself being “babied” after TJS in 2018 and opting out of 2020 replaces Rodón in the rotation remains to be seen. Smacks of re-using a band-aid for a cut still bleeding, but we’ll see. Jimmy Lambert, keep your day duffel packed.In further Dude, Where’s My Starting Rotation? news, today’s starter is ... Reynaldo López, spanking-fresh and back from the Where Are They Now file
