Cooney isn’t pitching right now b/c of shoulder issues. Likeliest 6th starter is probably Tyler Lyons (currently in the MLB bullpen).

? Eh, idk if I agree with you. It feels like they are being extra cautious with Cooney because he is the likeliest/best choice for a 6th starter; according to news reports no structural issues were found, yet they are doing extra strengthening/work on an “achy” shoulder! (Perhaps because they knew it was likely Marco – who they wanted to compete with Cooney for the 6th spot – would need surgery..). Cooney did pretty well in his two Spring Training appearances despite his “shoulder issues..” At least, that is what I am hoping – Cooney back in Memphis strong in May, ready to be called up when needed.
