The D-Backs are moving rookie Maz Scherzer to the bullpen through no fault of his own and that’s because Doug Davis will reclaim his starting job. Davis was out for a while as he was recovering from surgery to his thyroid due to cancer. He has pitched in 2 games (both starts) for the D-Backs this season and he was 1-1 with a 3.72 ERA and a 1.86 WHIP. Scherzer might move right into the set up man role for the D-Backs. He has pitched in 4 games (3 starts) for the D-Backs this season and he is 0-2 with a 2.33 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. He has whiffed 23 batters in only 19.1 innings which shows what kind of stuff he has. Scherzer’s future is in the starting rotation but he should provide another power arm to the D-Backs’ bullpen for now.
