Daniel Poncedeleon found himself in a matter of three days, promoted to the starting rotation and then demoted to AAA Memphis. Is this anyway to treat a pitcher who has a 2.08 ERA in the major leagues with the St. Louis Cardinals?
Interim manager Mike Schlldt announced on Sunday that Daniel Poncedeleon would replace Luke Weaver in the starting rotation. According to Jenifer Langosch, Schlidt will use Weaver in the bullpen as a ‘shorter long man’ or a ‘middle innings’ guy.
Poncedeleon started the St. Louis Cardinals game on Tuesday night vs the Dodgers in place of Weaver.
