Tommy Milone moved to Twins' bullpen

Minnesota Twins pitcher Tommy Milone has been moved to the bullpen.

What It Means:

We reported earlier that Milone might have his next start skipped, but apparently he'll be removed from the rotation altogether. Milone has posted a 5.40 ERA over 4 starts this season. Ricky Nolasco will move up to start Sunday and Alex Meyer will replace Milone in the rotation.

Despite the high ERA, Milone has a decent 3.52 xFIP, and a 20.0 strikeout percentage in his 20 innings pitched this season. Our models projected Milone to record a 4.21 ERA and a 15.2 strikeout percentage in 107 innings pitched this season, prior to his demotion to the bullpen.
