Pepiot registered a no-decision during Tuesday's 5-4 loss to Milwaukee, allowing three runs on three hits and five walks with six strikeouts in 4.2 innings.
Making a second turn through the rotation, Pepiot found himself down two runs before recording an out, but he was able to limit the damage to a single run thereafter despite heavy traffic on the bases. The 24-year-old failed to record a 1-2-3 inning and walked two straight Brewers with two out in the fifth to prompt his removal. On a positive note, Pepiot recorded 13 swinging strikes on 91 pitches. Dustin May (elbow) is set to rejoin the rotation Saturday, likely pushing Pepiot and his 4.26 ERA to the bullpen or the minors.
