It has just been confirmed that the Tampa Bay Rays will have Matt Moore replace Nate Karns in their rotation. However, Karns may be back to starting games before long–the switch isn’t nearly as simple as a starter-for-starter swap.
We knew that the Rays were going to bring back Moore in September and likely on September 1st, but it was quite interesting when they said that he was going to rejoin their rotation. We can say that Moore did everything he could to get back on track at Triple-A Durham, but was he good enough to warrant removing any of the Rays’ five strong starters from the rotation?
