The decision could impact playoff pushes, as managers navigate the delicate balance between preserving arms and winning games.

On April 2-8, last night in the matchup against the Phillies, manager Chad Tracy stuck with starter Ranger Suarez for the 8th inning after just 90 pitches through 7 solid frames. Suarez was on fire, shutting down the Red Sox lineup without much drama. That call kept the Phillies bullpen fresh, avoiding early work for key arms, and saving high leverage guys for later.
