Dereck Rodriguez Lined Up To Start Thursday
5 years agoThe San Francisco Giants are planning to use starting pitcher Dereck Rodriguez on Thursday against the Phillies. Shaun Anderson will be pushed back a day in the rotation. Rodriguez gave up just one run in five innings in a spot start against the Rockies in the second game of a doubleheader in his last spot start on July 15, but he's been unreliable with a 4.99 ERA in 18 games (nine starts) in 2019 after a solid rookie season in 2018. There's not many reasons we can think of to use him as a streamer against Philly on Thursday.
