New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi announced Friday that they will skip over struggling ace Masahiro Tanaka‘s scheduled start on Sunday in order to give him some extra rest. Now, who will make that start comes into question.
The options include a spot start for Chad Green, a call-up for Bryan Mitchell or the far-fetched promotion of red-hot prospect Chance Adams.
All are practical options. but none are ideal. Green’s season-high pitch total is 48 so Girardi would have to fry a lot of his bullpen — not ideal for a team without an off day until June 19.
