Soroka is pitching in Rome tonight (supposed to go 4 innings) and Gohara is back from Brazil tomorrow. Bowman speculates Gohara will go to the pen.
I'd rather they both be prepared to pitch in the rotation. I'd ask them both to pitch 3 "rehab" games. Go 4, 5 and 6 innings in those games. Take the one who does best and insert him into the rotation. Move Anibal Sanchez to the pen.
The "loser" in Soroka/Gohara contest should remain in the AAA rotation until the inevitable injury creates an opening in the majors.
