Inbox: Will rotation be altered down stretch?

Some of our starters -- Robbie Ray, Zack Godley -- have hit a rough patch recently. Do you think there will be September callups that could help the starting rotation?

Sunday, I wrote about how the team will likely tweak the rotation order this week with the two off-days in terms of setting up some matchups over the next 10 days. That being said, I don't think you will see any changes to the rotation even when we hit September. What I do think you'll see is that the D-backs will call up a handful of pitchers who will be used in the bullpen and will give manager Torey Lovullo even more flexibility to be aggressive in terms of getting starters out earlier in games if they are struggling on a particular day.
