Jerad Eickhoff was optioned to Lehigh Valley Saturday morning, a move that also silently confirmed the Major League rotation as being composed of Aaron Nola, Jake Arrieta, Nick Pivetta, Vince Velasquez, and Zach Eflin. Eickhoff, after missing the vast majority of last season with multiple issues in his pitching arm, will look to reclaim a spot he had firmly held for two seasons prior. To do that, he’ll need to battle through a growing legion of contenders on the IronPigs, who stand to feature a pitching staff filled with viable options for Major League roles.
