The
Wacha was passed over for lefty Tyler Lyons, who will make a start with the major-league club Wednesday. Although fans are wondering why Wacha wasn't promoted, general manager John Mozeliak said the team needs to be careful with the young starter.
"We also want to make sure that we don’t put him into a situation where all of a sudden we are truly having to worry about his innings and his pitch count to the degree (of) young pitchers coming up in the past," Mozeliak said. Mozeliak also said the service time clock was playing a role in the team's decision.
The 21-year-old Wacha has a 1.89 ERA in 47 2/3 Triple-A innings.
