Paul Skenes and Other Players Who Can Help From Indianapolis

Paul Skenes makes his next start with Indianapolis at 6:05 PM.

The right-hander went 4.1 innings in his last outing, pitching into the fifth frame for the first time. He’s gradually increasing his pitch count, and if he remains on this five day schedule, it will be difficult to keep him down for many more starts.

This week might be his first time pitching twice in the same calendar week. With a Tuesday start, Skenes would line up to pitch next on May 5th. From there, his next turn would be Friday, May 10th. After that, he would be looking at Wednesday, May 15th, and Tuesday, May 21st.
