ST. PETERSBURG -- Yonny Chirinos is no longer a "Bullpen Day" starter for the Rays. Manager Kevin Cash told reporters on Saturday that the rookie right-hander is now a member of the starting rotation, with his first assignment coming in Sunday's series finale.
"I just think where he got built up with his pitch count, he's comfortable now that he can provide right around that 100-pitch count," Cash said. "We've been going back and forth with it. It's not the easiest thing in the world to build these guys up. ... I think we're in a better spot now with Yonny in the rotation.
