Jose Suarez To Start Monday, Dylan Bundy To The 'Pen
3 years agoLos Angeles Angels manager Joe Maddon said that pitcher Jose Suarez will join the rotation and start on Monday against the Boston Red Sox. Right-hander Dylan Bundy will move to the bullpen, with Maddon saying it can give Bundy "a chance to reset." Bundy has had a rough go of it after a really nice first season in Anaheim. He's gone 1-7 this year with a 6.58 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 63/21 K/BB in 15 outings (14 starts) over 67 innings. Bundy did come in to throw two scoreless innings of relief on Wednesday against the Yankees, so that's a good sign. He doesn't need to be held in shallow mixed leagues. Suarez has been great in relief for the Halos with a 1.98 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 26 K's to nine walks in 27 1/3 relief innings in 2021. The matchup isn't a great one on Monday, but he's worth a look in deeper mixed leagues now that he has a starting opportunity.
