With options for the big-league rotation seven deep, the Padres' Triple-A starting pitchers have all taken turns working out of the bullpen
A.J. Preller acquired Sean Manaea a week before the season, traded away Chris Paddack on opening day, lost Blake Snell to injury on Day 4 and still had a working five-man rotation even with Mike Clevinger weeks away from returning from Tommy John surgery.
“Our big-league staff is one of the best in the league on paper,” Triple-A El Paso right-hander Jesse Scholtens said. “Then you watch what they’re actually doing, you’re like, ‘Holy cow,’ and there’s seven of those guys doing it at the highest level in the big leagues right now.Advertisement The rest of El Paso’s rotation plans for the last couple weeks has been a mash-up of spot starts and bullpen games as the organization keeps an eye on what could be the best way to supplement the big-league pitching staff, a strength of a team still neck-and-neck with the Dodgers atop the NL West.
That he was able to strike out three over 4 2/3 shutout innings in relief after Gore’s worst start of the season and follow it up with two no-hit innings in Colorado last Friday made it all that much more difficult for Knehr to be the roster casualty Monday when MLB forced teams to pare their pitching staffs to 13.
