Diamondbacks Adjust Rotation Amid MLB Rule Talks

The Arizona Diamondbacks have adjusted their rotation, moving Jordan Montgomery to the bullpen and keeping Ryne Nelson in the starting lineup, reverting to a five-man rotation. Meanwhile, MLB officials are discussing a rule requiring starting pitchers to throw at least six innings per game to enhance pitcher durability and game action, with exceptions for high pitch counts, runs allowed, or injuries. The rule aims to reduce reliance on maximum effort pitches and potential injuries, echoing broader trends to restore traditional aspects of the game. White Sox interim manager Grady Sizemore announced that Garrett Crochet will have a limited workload for the rest of the season, further highlighting the focus on pitcher health and longevity.
