Watkins didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the White Sox after allowing one run on four hits and three walks across 4.1 innings, fanning four.
The rookie right-hander has made just two starts and three appearances during his rookie campaign, and while the sample size is small, he's allowed just one run in each of his two starts and sports a 1.74 ERA through 10.1 innings. He'll likely come back down to earth a bit eventually, especially since he posted a 3.58 ERA in the minors before being promoted, but so far, he has done enough to remain in the rotation for the foreseeable future.
