Clayton Richard will have his next turn in the rotation skipped, Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald reports.
Richard will have his next turn in the rotation skipped, Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald reports.
Analysis:
Richard was a last-minute replacement for Tsuyoshi Wada (shoulder) on Saturday, and actually cashed in a respectable outing, allowing just two earned runs on eight hits over 6.1 innings. His time in the rotation will likely be short-lived, however, as Wada could return to the Cubs by next weekend if his rehab start Monday goes well. Richard will likely occupy a bullpen role until another spot start is needed, or a roster move is announced.
