Buzz: Minor Leaguer To Start

by Regis Courtemanche on May 12th, 2008 at 9:35 am

Prior to yesterday’s game, Willie Randolph told reporters that the team will likely need to call upon a minor leaguer to start Wednesday’s game against the Nationals.

However, if today’s game is postponed due to rain, a new pitcher will not be needed, as today’s starter will pitch Tuesday, and so on.  Then, Johan Santana will likely start against the Yankees in the Bronx on Friday.

According to the Daily News, citing a ‘source’, regardless of rain today, Mike Pelfrey will pitch on regular rest on Thursday, and Santana will pitch Friday against the Yankees.

…from what i have heard, since Jorge Sosa is not an option, the likes of Adam Bostick, Tony Armas Jr., Claudio Vargas, or Brian Stokes could be called up to start on wednesday…
