Pitcher Playing Time Changes: March 13, 2025
Below are the notable pitcher playing time changes in the last 48 hours or so. For further detail on the methodology and more recent changes, my first rundown from Tuesday is here.
Starting Pitchers
| Pitcher | Team | 3/11 GS | 3/13 GS | GS Change | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stephen Kolek | SDP | 3 | 8 | 5 | Taking to the rotation very well, might have a leg up on Hart |
| Zebby Matthews | MIN | 11 | 15 | 4 | Could build on brilliant Spring Training and take starts from Paddack or SWR down the line |
| Landen Roupp | SFG | 8 | 11 | 3 | Separating himself from Kyle Harrison for SP5 (keep an eye on Birdsong, too) |
| Michael McGreevy | STL | 2 | 5 | 3 | Pitching great, but when will a spot open up for him? |
| Kyle Hart 하트 | SDP | 15 | 11 | -4 | Could start in bullpen; rainout knocked him out of his first start after 2 IP and he might not have enough time |
Notable Reliever IP Projection Changes, 3/11 to 3/13
| Pitcher | Team | 3/11 IP | 3/13 IP | IP Change | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Keegan Thompson | CHC | 66 | 22 | -44 | Didn’t travel to Japan; will be DFA’d but could clear and help again later on |
| Steven Okert | HOU | 22 | 54 | 32 | Dominating the Grapefruit League and they could want a third LHP with Hader and King |
| Diego Castillo | COL | 34 | 50 | 16 | Not guaranteed of a spot but pitching decently enough, or could go down to AAA and come up later |
| Justin Dunn | CHW | 6 | 21 | 15 | Pitching well in a wide-open bullpen competition |
| Hogan Harris | ATH | 33 | 48 | 15 | Jacob Lopez optioned; likeliest to be second lefty after McFarland |
