Brad Lord is back in the starting rotation! In his rookie season, the former 18th round pick has been a bright spot in what has been a very disappointing pitching staff. He has been going back and forth between roles and excelling in all of them.
A starter in the Minor Leagues, Lord was the story of Spring Training as a reliever. He surprisingly broke camp as a bullpen arm despite competing with more highly touted arms. However, Lord was forced to adapt quickly.
When Michael Soroka got injured in his first start, Lord was thrown back in to starting duties.
