Manager Mark Kotsay shared how the Athletics plan to work rookie pitcher Shintaro Fujinami into the starting rotation this season.
Shintaro Fujinami will be part of the Athletics' rotation for the 2023 MLB season. That much is clear.
Where exactly will he slot in? As The San Francisco Chronicle's Matt Kawahara reported on Tuesday, A's manager Mark Kotsay shared that the team's initial plan for Fujinami is for the Japanese star to take the mound every sixth, and possibly every seventh day in Oakland's rotation.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
This all but guarantees, at least at the start of the season, that the 28-year-old will not be part of a traditional five-man rotation. Mark Kotsay revised this after the game today to say that Shintaro Fujinami pitching every seventh day is a possibility. It sounds like what's clear is Fujinami pitching every fifth day isn't part of the plan.
