SB Nation Reacts: David Peterson should go back in the Cubs rotation

David Peterson has been added back to the Cubs' rotation, replacing injured pitcher Edward Cabrera, according to recent wire reports. ESPN's Craig Counsell made the announcement following Cabrera's recent disaster of a start, which resulted in him being sent back to the injured list with a blister. Prior to this development, a survey conducted by SB Nation Reacts poll asked readers who they'd prefer to see in the rotation in Cabrera's place, and the majority of respondents expressed their preference.

Peterson made one relief appearance earlier this week, tossing 1.1 scoreless innings and 22 pitches during the Cubs' victory over the White Sox.

Since his return to the rotation, Peterson has shown promising results. Over his past seven outings, he has posted a 2.06 ERA, 1.229 WHIP, and 3.86 FIP, while helping the Cubs secure six wins. The question now arises: should injured pitcher Edward Cabrera revert back to the rotation? Most likely, the majority of readers would answer "no," given Peterson's effective performance in the rotation.

However, there is a possibility that Cabrera might be more effective in the bullpen. Known for his high-velocity pitches, including a 94-mile-per-hour changeup, Cabrera might benefit from the shorter outings and potentially find relief from his blister issue by pitching fewer innings at a time.
