Inbox: How will Rays' 4-man rotation play out?

I'm miffed by this whole four-man rotation -- that turned into a three-man rotation after Nathan Eovaldi's injury -- supported by bullpen days. Why can't the Rays just go with a traditional approach? Insert either Yonny Chirinos, Ryan Yarbrough, Matt Andriese, Austin Pruitt or Andrew Kittredge into the rotation.

I don't believe you're the only one wondering what the Rays are doing. I'm not necessarily down on the move; rather, I'm interested in how it's going to play out. You see this type of thing work out in the postseason, but there are 162 regular-season games.
