AI Summary
RHP JR Ritchie was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett after struggling in his MLB debut with a 4.91 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 25 2/3 innings. Martin Perez will take his spot in the rotation.
After a solid MLB debut, it's been downhill for Ritchie, who now has a 4.91 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, and 21/16 K/BB ratio in 25 2/3 MLB innings. Many people had added him in hopes of a solid two-start week this week, but he will only get one start. It seems that it will be Martin Perez, who will start on Sunday and get a sneaky good two-start week.
