...but why not save him for TCU on Tuesday, on full rest?

Don't know. Maybe they wanted to go ahead and set him as a weekend rotation option for conference play? Maybe they are planning to have Amador available for that game? I'm sure they have a plan.

Esquivel was the previous Tuesday starter and hasn't pitched since. If he's not used much in relief this weekend he'll be fresh for Tuesday.

Gayle and Bordwine are fully available for relief this weekend. Garcia shouldn't need to go many innings, especially if Canterino can get in most of a game. Parthasarthy also hasn't pitched since Tuesday.

Yes, but there's a reason Zach and Jackson have not pitched much this past week.

I know, but they're going to have to take their lumps at some point in the next week. We're fresh out of starting pitchers.
