George Kirby Expected To Join M's Rotation
George Kirby is tentatively scheduled to start the team's fourth game of the second half of the season against the Texas Rangers next Monday. Left-hander Tommy Milone should now serve in a more traditional relief role to open the second half of the year. Kirby will make an abbreviated start for Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday before he rejoins Seattle's rotation on Monday. The M's are looking to limit the 24-year-old's innings this year, as he's already tossed 89 innings in the majors and minors in 2022. In his first 12 starts in the big leagues, Kirby has a decent 3.78 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 62 strikeouts and nine walks in 64 1/3 innings pitched.
