Yusei Kikuchi's Load Management Coming Soon
6 years agoSeattle Mariners manager Scott Servais stated Wednesday that Japanese starter Yusei Kikuchi will make a regular start on Saturday. After that, however, the 27-year-old will make one of several "short" starts in order to have him adjust to the major league schedule. After all, his time in Japan saw him pitch with more rest days, pitching just once a week. Kikuchi has made five starts thus far, going 0-1 with a 4.23 ERA. Shorter starts will hurt his fantasy value as he's less likely to record victories.
