Joe Kelly will stay in rotation

Since the start of the 2013 season, Tazawa is T-10th in relief appearances (192), 14th in total innings thrown (181.1), T-13th in total batters faced (744), and T-90th in pitches thrown (1063).
 
Just for 2015, Tazawa is T-37th in appearances (50), T-32nd in innings (49.0), T-37th in batters faced (199), and T-45th in pitches thrown (759).
 
While he leads all Red Sox relievers in those categories (except pitches thrown this season...that's Robbie Ross), he's hardly been used more than most teams' top relievers either this year or over the past three seasons.

That's too logical....someone has to come up with another way to criticize the handling of pitchers. Come on you're letting me down.

How are you getting Tazawa pitching 8 innings May 10-16? I see him pitching 4 innings. In each of the last two appearances he only faced one batter. 

Yeah, no idea. I think I clicked on the summarize-appearances thing and probably grabbed an extra row accidentally.
