Do you remember his strange "demotion" last June? He was pitching great and they cited "general soreness". That was after he went 8 1/3 in a victory and struck out 9.

He was demoted by Showalter so they could throw a generic RH starter against the Jays' RH bats instead of a lefty. It didn't work out, though. That wasn't the first or last time Showalter set up the rotation last year to avoid that possibility, but he took it to a new level with that demotion.
