With the swap of Piverra (out) to Perez (in) for tomorrow, the rotation for the rest of the 17 games becomes clear. Houck getting another start would commit to Sale or Perez starting game 1 of the Rays series, and i don't think you want to do that, nor lose Houck from the pen for the days surrounding another start.
Tor: Pivetta, Richards, Houck
NY round 2: same 3 guys as this round, plus Pivetta. Sale makes rehab start 3 on the last day, and they'll decide the next day whether he debuts against the Rays
Tor 2: Richards, Rodriguez, Eovaldi, Perez
Rays series:
1. Pivetta or Sale
2. Sale, Pivetta, Houck, or Richards
3. Rodriguez
Which is to say, they decide:
1. Is Sale ready?
2. If so, who gets the extra day or rest, him or Pivetta?
3. If not, who starts the middle game, Houck or Richards?
Right now we have little idea as to whether Houck or Sale would be a better option for this crucial start, nor can we rule out that Richards might be better than Houck.
