He has never thrown I think it's 140 innings in a year so the y are going to be careful with him. Pretty much standard for young pitchers theses days. Rather have a few shorter outings early in the year.
What happened was Marco Estrada got hot and they did not want to put him back in the rotation after he came back from the oblique strain plus needed help in the bullpen. I have had him on my fantasy team all the way through the minors he was always going to be starter. The bullpen was out of of pure need.
American Alpha only going to get better only been tagging for 6 months. That Nakamura and Zayne match was not a match it was fight. Awesome to watch. Highly entertaining event. They have set the bar pretty high for Sunday.
