We've played almost all of april with no days off, this is just to prevent overusing an arm in an emergency. He may not pitch for 8 days and they don't care. Kahnle they may like and want to keep him on his schedule.
Looking forward to Shuck though, I'm going to guess in may we have a few spells of heavy subs after relying so hard on Frazier/Lawrie/Abreu/Melky
