Brock Burke News: Starting bullpen game

Burke will serve as the Angels' starting pitcher Wednesday against the Mets in what's expected to be a bullpen game, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Burke has posted a 3.38 ERA and 1.35 WHIP this season while primarily serving in middle relief, but the Angels will use him to begin Wednesday's contest, marking his first start of the season. The 28-year-old has just four appearances of more than one inning on the campaign, so he'll likely turn the game over to the bullpen at some point during the bottom of the second.
