Eric Skoglund Bumped From Rotation
5 years agoKansas City Royals pitcher Eric Skoglund's stay in the rotation was a short one. After just two starts, Skoglund is being sent to the bullpen to make way for Jorge Lopez. Skoglund's last start was a debacle as he allowed six earned runs in four innings while walking three and only striking out one, but Lopez also hasn't done anything promotion-worthy as of late. Manager Ned Yost told reporters that the team's pitching coach had some particular things to work on with Skoglund though, so it seems like the tinkering is better fit to a bullpen role. Skoglund only had value to the most desperate owners in the deepest leagues anyway, but his value is now completely tanked for everyone.
