Matt Koch Making 2018 Debut in Start for Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks have recalled pitcher Matt Koch to start against the Padres on Friday. With Taijuan Walker (elbow) going down with a season-ending injury, Arizona needs someone to fill the rotation spot. Koch has appeared in nine games at the major league level, pitching to a 1-1 record with a 3.15 ERA and a 13/5 K/BB ratio. While he hasn't started at the major league level since 2016, the Diamondbacks clearly see something in Koch to give him an opportunity. He isn't a recommended start, even against a weak Padres lineup, but perhaps if he shines he could earn his spot in the rotation full time.
