They're gonna try and cap him at 150 innings this year. Even if he does well I'd be surprised if he goes into the 7th.
That said, don't expect him to be Shelby Miller. He hasn't missed a ton of bats in AAA, and there's no reason to expect him to do so here. That's why DJ wanted him to stay in Memphis. Until he learns to make a breaking ball an out pitch he may scuffle a bit with big league hitters, as he's not a sinkerballer or a flame thrower. He needs a third pitch, and right now he doesn't have one.
Hopefully the Royals' BABIP luck dries up today.
I'd be content with 6 IP 6H, 1BB, 4K and 2-3 ER.
