Mariners relief pitcher Vidal Nuno will start for his team against the Rockies on Tuesday, according to the Seattle Times.
Nuno last started a game on July 5, but it was for Triple-A Tacoma during a brief demotion.
“It’s just another day,” he said. “Now I just have to go 80 to 100 pitches and set the tone of the game.”
The Mariners are confident Nuno can provide the rotation some much needed rest.
“He can go five easily if we need him to,” McClendon said. “He’s very durable and he’s rested.”
