Three games ago in the Cardinals schedule, the Cardinals had a reason to keep Kwang-Hyun Kim out of the MLB rotation. Three games ago was Sunday, July 26th, and the Cardinals lost the third game of their first series of the year against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Miles Mikolas was, we thought, healthy. And really I guess I could say the same thing about Carlos Martinez at the same time too.
But now, there is no reason to leave him out of the rotation and the Cardinals agree with me. After a grand total of one game in the bullpen, the Cardinals are moving him back to the rotation to replace Carlos Martinez.
