Casparius is currently sporting a 4.68 ERA across 59.2 innings pitched, with an abysmal 8.24 ERA in his last five outings, including back-to-back six earned run games.
Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the necessity of Casparius's transition to a starting role, indicating a return to the bullpen may enhance his performance due to less preparation by opposing hitters.
Despite typically being effective with a 28.5% whiff rate, recent outings indicate a lack of swing-and-miss and quick outs, leading to struggles as a starter.
Roberts pointed out that, during Friday's start, only a handful of Casparius's 60 throws were executed well, impacting his overall effectiveness.
