2 years agoSeattle Mariners rookie right-hander George Kirby is tentatively scheduled to start the team's fourth game of the second half of the season against the Texas Rangers next Monday. Left-hander Tommy Milone should now serve in a more traditional relief role to open the second half of the year. Kirby will make an abbreviated start for Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday before he rejoins Seattle's rotation on Monday. The M's are looking to limit the 24-year-old's innings this year, as he's already tossed 89 innings in the majors and minors in 2022. In his first 12 starts in the big leagues, Kirby has a decent 3.78 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 62 strikeouts and nine walks in 64 1/3 innings pitched.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
