I'd push him back in the rotation after the All-Star break if I was the Royals. He wasn't facing the oppositions ace tonight, but most of the time he is and that's what kind of run support he's going to get all season if you keep him there. Same thing happened to Grienke. Stop wasting their starts in games we're not likely to score many runs. Put Davis there and you're better off imo. 7 of his 9 starts have been against the oppositions ace. You're throwing his starts down the drain by forcing him to start against pitchers this lineup has no chance against.
