Not necessarily. If Chase stays in, you lose him for the next several games, and he would no longer be a candidate to take Saturday's start. Pulling him when they did conserves that possibility. I'm sure Chase is down today, but he should be good to go for tomorrow, or could take the spot start Saturday if that's the way they go. Pitching Wilson last night right before leaving for paternity leave keeps him sharp, and he'll be rested when he comes back on Saturday. With a comfortable 6-run lead, they were looking toward conserving pen innings and keeping options open. I think what is assumed by many is that Chase will be a multiple innings guy and in CCs pen he may not be.
