Thursday is a scheduled off-day, giving Green the option of skipping Stock\u2019s rotation spot Friday. But Green said he would like to keep deploying five starters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think [skipping] is our best choice given the load a lot of the young guys have carried into their first full season in the big leagues,\u201d Green said. \u201cAs much as we would like to get those guys back on the mound quickly, the extra day is good for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
