Posted by Craig Kornacki If he pitches well, you can put him back in the lineup. If he pitches poorly, keep him out. Also, you've got a solid staff. I don't think it would be hurt but holding out one starter or trading him down the line. Good luck! --Previous Message--

Sometimes if a pitcher is struggling, it's best to "reserve" him for a start or two. This gives you a chance to not get "killed" in your stats and allows you a chance to see if anything develops. For example, maybe this week you might get some more news about him... injury problem, personal problem, etc.
Don't outright release him, though. Wait until he improves a little and then test the trade winds.
