Roughed up in first career start McCaughan was charged with seven runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out two across four innings in his start Monday against the Astros. He didn't factor into the decision...
Impact After tossing five innings of one-run ball as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen in his MLB debut July 21 in Colorado, McCaughan stepped into a traditional starting role Monday. The 25-year-old righty immediately put the Mariners in a big hole, as he allowed four consecutive batters to reach base after recording the first out of the inning, then served up back-to-back home runs to Kyle Tucker and Abraham Toro. Aside from allowing another solo shot to Martin Maldonado, McCaughan mostly recovered from the rough first inning, and he was spared the loss after the Mariners overcame their largest deficit of the season. Seattle hasn't decided whether McCaughan will pick up another start, but he could be at risk of losing his spot in the rotation since Hector Santiago was activated Tuesday after completing a 10-game suspension.

Confirmed to start Monday McCaughan is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Astros, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact McCaughan will be rewarded with a start after he thrived while working as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen in his MLB debut Wednesday, when he limited the Rockies to one run on no hits and three walks. The 25-year-old right-hander generated only one swinging strike among his 61 pitches in the outing, and he posted an underwhelming 18.9 percent strikeout rate over 10 starts at Triple-A Tacoma this season. His reliance on inducing weak contact to record outs will make it difficult to trust him in fantasy.

Likely to draw another start McCaughan will likely make a start during the next turn through Seattle's rotation, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact McCaughan served as the primary pitcher in Wednesday's loss to the Rockies, and he gave up a run on no hits and three walks in five innings. The right-hander was unable to generate any strikeouts, but general manager Jerry Dipoto said Thursday that McCaughan will likely draw the start early next week. The 25-year-old tentatively lines up to make his first major-league start at home against the Astros on Monday.

Contract selected by Seattle McCaughan's contract was selected by the Mariners on Wednesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact McCaughan made 10 starts at Triple-A Tacoma to begin the year, and he posted a 3.97 ERA and 46:13 K:BB in 59 innings during that time. The Mariners haven't yet announced what the right-hander's role in the majors will be, but he could be a candidate to join the rotation since several of the team's starters are dealing with injuries. Outfielder Dillon Thomas was sent down in a corresponding move.
