When the team promoted Felix Reyes, it was almost a “let’s see what happens” moment since the offense has been so bad. Now, they’re going to try something with the bullpen.

Sure, why not?

McFarlane was shoving in Reading, on top of having some nice outings during spring training, so the logic to bring him up is there. The worst that happens is that he struggles a bit and what, they lose? Like they haven’t been doing that lately.
