7 years agoSan Diego Padres pitcher Jordan Lyles was rocked in a second consecutive outing on Tuesday, giving up four earned runs, five hits and two walks in three innings. AJ Cassavell of MLB.com believes he is destined for the bullpen. Lyles has struggled this Spring to a 12.38 ERA and 2.50 WHIP in eight innings pitched. With Lyles out of the starting picture, five Padre pitchers remain in a contest for two rotation spots -- Luis Perdomo, Tyson Ross, Chris Young, Robbie Erlin, and Matt Strahm. The best performers have been veterans Young and Ross. Earlier Tuesday, Padres manager Andy Green removed pitcher Dinelson Lamet from the competition, hinting he will likely be the team's third starter.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller
