When you’re a wild pitcher, usually the manager or pitching coachmay pull you aside and see what can be done to correct said wildness.

Apparently they’ve gone a step further in Cincinnati as Reds starting pitcher Edinson Volquez, in an effort to stem his control and mechanical problems, will be relegated to the team’s bullpen.

As a result, another pitcher – presumably Travis Wood – will take Volquez’s start this Sunday.

Since Volquez’s return from Tommy John surgery, he has went 3-2 with a  6.17 ERA in eight starts, walking 27 batters in just 35 innings. Interstingly enough, he will need to resolve those issues relatively soon as rosters expand in September and manager Dusty Baker will need have a “set-in-stone-roster” by then.
