Philip Humber continues to struggle and White Sox manager Robin Ventura suggested for the first time that he might be moved to the bullpen if things don't turn around.
"He has to [keep pitching]," Ventura said. "It's hard to work your way out of it if you don't pitch. Whether that's starting or the bullpen, I don't know. But it has to get better."
In nine starts since his perfect game April 21 in Seattle, Humber is 1-4 with a 7.50 ERA. He is 0-7 with a 5.92 ERA in his last 14 starts at home.
Ventura said Humber will remain in the rotation for now.
"He's still going to make that next start [Saturday against the Dodgers in Los Angeles]," Ventura said. "You see flashes out there, but [his pitching] needs to be more consistent."
Less Than Two Months After Perfect Game, Humber May Go To Bullpen
