Weekly Pitcher Rankings: Double Trouble

Weekly Pitcher Rankings: Double Trouble

This article is part of our Weekly Pitcher Rankings series.

As if tracking rotations isn't already a challenge, rosters are expanding with one of the more common uses being to fortify rotations. Add in the number of younger arms being shut down and a two-start week is reduced to a solo shot.

Fortunately, there is nothing better than the RotoWire Probable Pitchers page when it comes to the most up-to-date information.
