Pfaadt Back in Rotation Amid Staff Woes | MLB News

The Diamondbacks are turning to Brandon Pfaadt tonight against the Giants, calling him up from Triple-A to fill a starting void after injuries hit their pitching staff. Pfaadt, who struggled with a high ERA this season and bounced between starter and reliever roles without much success, is back in the rotation sooner than expected. He’s shown promise in recent minor league outings but is likely to be limited to around 65 pitches or five innings. Meanwhile, reliever Juan Burgos — traded last year and barely used — gets sent back down, despite having electric stuff and inconsistent control. The move is a necessity, not a surprise.
