1 month agoChicago Cubs right-hander Ben Brown will continue to be stretched out as a starter in camp because the team knows he could be a big X-factor for their starting rotation, The Athletic's Patrick Mooney writes. It makes more sense for Brown to increase his workload in spring training and be available at the start of the year if the Cubs need another starter, rather than immediately turning him into a high-leverage reliever. It's always easier to move a pitcher to the bullpen later on than to try to ramp back up towards 100 pitches. If the 25-year-old is in a rotation spot for Chicago, the 6-foot-6 right-hander has plenty of fantasy upside with his swing-and-miss stuff, although the fact he still has a minor-league option remaining could make him the odd-man out. A neck injury limited him in 2024, but he also threw seven no-hit innings against the Brewers in May.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
