Over the past few weeks, Chip Hale, manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks, says his pitchers are in a continued cycle of audition.
That includes starters and relievers, and not one pitcher, Hale points out, is exempt. A subsequent shuffling took place earlier this month. That’s when Patrick Corbin, who has not won a game at home this season, and a principal starter, was banished to the bullpen.
At this point, no pitcher appears released from going under the microscope and experiencing a thorough examination. One intriguing story could be right-hander Vicente Campos, who made his major league debut Saturday against Cincinnati.
