Análise
Junk returned to Miami's rotation Sunday after he was unexpectedly deployed in relief Wednesday. The right-hander was sharp, blanking Washington through four innings before allowing a lone two-out run in the fifth. Junk would then depart the game after throwing just 65 pitches. It appears that Junk could be on a pitch limit down the stretch -- he's now thrown 103 innings this season after delivering a career-high 110 last year. Overall, Junk's ERA sits at 4.11 with a 1.30 WHIP and 70:28 K:BB. He tentatively lines up to face the Cubs at home his next time out.

Returning to starting role Sunday
Junk is slated to start Sunday's road game against the Nationals.
Análise
After getting the start in his first 19 appearances of the season, Junk was surprisingly used in relief during Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Red Sox, notching a hold while needing just eight pitches to deliver a perfect inning. Though he'll technically be returning to the hill Sunday on three days' rest, Junk shouldn't face any restrictions with his workload, given the brevity of that relief appearance.
