The plan heading into yesterday’s loss to the Rockies seemed pretty simple: get through it, and Xzavion Curry will start Wednesday. With all the injuries and poor performances, there is simply no one left. So Curry, who has been excellent — invaluable, even — in mop-up duty for the rest of the sorry starting rotation, was going to finally get his shot at starting.
That’s not going to happen now.
While part of me is happy that it could mean the Guardians are forced to finally call up Tanner Bibee from the minors (either that or have Konnor Pilkington pitch on short rest), it means that Curry misses out on a shot that he has absolutely earned.
