The 20-year-old pitcher, who has retired each of the past 26 batters he's faced, is considered a strong contender for a rotation spot with the team currently playing 13 consecutive days. With Dodd and Ritchie out of the picture, Fuentes, José Suarez and Martín Pérez are considered internal candidates for the remaining two spots on the pitching staff. The team may need to carry both a sixth starter and at least one additional multi-inning reliever. The decision on Fuenthes' position will depend on the team's ability to protect their bullpen and keep bodies here.
