Maybe he could use it, but on a playoff-contending team looking for consistent starting pitching, that can be tough. Yeah it won’t be a rest of the season thing anyways (innings limit) but they are 5-3 in his games he has started and could possibly be 6-3(He is 4-2) if they can hold onto this one. It’s not like he’s costing them games in the standings. The growth that is probably happening for him right now, pitching in a pennant race, working through jams and rough patches... I’m glad they’re letting him do it. Yeah, you're right, and it could be worse. He isn't getting shelled. He is typically giving up few runs, but just not getting deep into games. Showing electric stuff, but the efficiency just hasn't been there. Just like the majority of young pitchers.
