Manager Terry Collins said Pill is the frontrunner to start Tuesday against the Brewers, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Pill, called upon in the 10th inning Saturday, struggled through his major league debut. After allowing a David Freese single, the righty hit Andrew McCutchen with a pitch and then walked Francisco Cervelli to load the bases. Pill retired Gift Ngoepe for the second out before being pulled in favor of Josh Edgin, who promptly allowed John Jaso to single home the winning run. Nonetheless, with Steven Matz (elbow) and Seth Lugo (elbow) not quite ready to return, Pill may be tasked with a starting role Tuesday. Another candidate may be Josh Smoker, who has also struggled out of the bullpen this season to the tune of an 8.00 ERA over 18 innings pitched.
