Figueroa Pitches in for Oliver Perez
Nelson Figueroa was needed in relief of Oliver Perez on Wednesday and allowed one run in 3 1/3 innings against the Pirates. Figueroa was available after having his turn skipped following Monday’s rainout. It could be Tuesday before he makes another start. Figueroa allowed five hits and two walks, so although it wasn’t the most inspiring performance, he continued his run of success this season. With Pedro Martinez and Orlando Hernandez still due to miss significant time, Figueroa figures to see at least a couple more starts in May. (Rotoworld, Rotowire)
