The D-backs have two off-days on the next road trip after finishing their current three-game series against the Yanks Wednesday night -- Thursday before opening a three-game set in St. Louis and Monday before starting another three-game series against the Pirates -- giving Hale the flexibility to make the move.
The other four starters -- Zack Greinke, Shelby Miller, Patrick Corbin and Robbie Ray -- will all remain in their regular five-day slots through the weekend.
Greinke, Tuesday night's starter against the Yanks, is slated to pitch again against the Cardinals on Sunday, Hale said.
