After Joe Ross delivered another outstanding performance on Thursday, Matt Williams announced that he would be staying in the rotation when Stephen Strasburg returns. Doug Fister will be heading to the bullpen.
The assumption throughout this past week has been that Joe Ross would either be moved to the bullpen or sent down to AAA when Stephen Strasburg was ready to return. The 22-year-old rookie has been outstanding filling in while Strasburg has been on the disabled list, posting a 2.80 ERA, a 2.56 FIP, and a 47:4 strikeout to walk ratio in 45 innings.
