House Update

For those wondering why left-hander T.J. House has not pitched in awhile, the reason is two-fold. In his last start on July 11th he was removed after three innings after he got hit with a line drive right on the elbow. Pretty scary moment. His start on July 17th was skipped as a precaution, but he is fine and is scheduled to pitch on Wednesday in Lexington.
That said, if not for the minor injury he would have likely the July 17th (or July 22nd) start skipped because with 88.0 innings pitched on the year he is fast approaching what I am told is about a 120-125 innings threshold. He'll be limited more in his last several starts to likely five innings max because right now with the amount of games left he could make about 10-11 starts, but he only has about 32-40 innings left for about 7 more starts. So, he will have a start or two skipped in August as well.
