Hearing a rumor from a reliable source that Connor Foley is likely to start this game. He will be on four days of rest. The staff has taken care to keep him on typical 6-days rest most of the season. I'm pretty sure he hasn't thrown in a game on any day other than Saturday all season. I would assume he would have to be on a limited pitch count.
