CHICAGO -- Jake Faria has had a few days to digest his last outing, the right-hander's worst as a Major Leaguer. Now he appears to have a positive outlook before his Friday start against the Phillies at Tropicana Field.
"It's been a few good days leading up to this," Faria said. "Feels like it's been forever [since I pitched]. ... I'm eager to get back out there. Threw a bullpen yesterday, and it went really well. So eager to get back home."
Faria pitched a career-low 1 2/3 innings on Saturday against the Red Sox, allowing a career-high eight runs, and a career-high-tying five walks.
