Fitts skipped in rotation?

Post by Carp4Cy »

Libby is making his 3rd start today. May tomorrow and McGreevey on Friday for his 3rd start. Is Fitts hurt or just not expected to make the rotation after all?

no they're not hurt....if you remember the last 2 seasons, Gray and a few other pitchers, Libby included, would get back field scrimmage/simulated game starts the first few weeks. Then they integrate into the actual rotation.

I think you forgot Gray's hamstring injury last spring.

Fitts just completed two scoreless innings against the Nicaragua WBC team, giving up four hits and striking out three.

He tore his ACL in July. As far as I know, his arm is fine but rehab for the knee is still progressing

Then why do we have him pitching to Yerzy instead of at the first of a game where he can get in sync with Hererra or another likely ML catcher? He's the new one here and ST is his first chance for the regular Catchers to get used to him and vice versa.
