Rockies pitcher Jordan Lyles is in a good spot to keep the fifth starter job, according to the Denver Post.
With Tyler Chatwood slated to return soon, the club needs to move a pitcher out of the rotation in order to make room for Chatwood. Both Lyles and Franklin Morales would seem to be the most obvious candidates to go. Lyles has been solid over two starts, posting a 3.86 ERA.
Morales gave up six earned runs Tuesday against the White Sox. He also struggled against the Marlins in his first appearance.
