McClung to be Part of Pitching Platoon?
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Brewers manager Ned Yost is considering platooning SPs Seth McClung and Dave Bush in the No. 5 spot in the pitching rotation, depending on if the team is at home or on the road. Bush, who is 4-2, with a 2.49 ERA at Miller Park would start the home games, and McClung would start on the road, mainly because Bush is 1-6, with 6.95 ERA away from Milwaukee. “I think it makes sense,” Yost said. “I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel. All I’m trying to do is give us the best chance to win every day. … I’m trying to do what’s smart.” McClung and Bush are decent NL-only options right now, but this move just creates an extra headache for Fantasy owners. Obviously, some weeks both will get one start, while other weeks one might get two starts and the other zero. So, if you own either one of these two, you’ll have to look at where the Brewers are playing each week. Nothing like extra work, huh? (CBS Sports)
