Chirinos will work as the primary pitcher out of the bullpen behind opener Calvin Faucher in Saturday's game against the White Sox, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.
Chirinos is filling a hole in the Tampa Bay rotation, but the right-hander won't get a traditional start. Faucher is instead getting the starting nod and will most likely work one or two innings before giving way to Chirinos, who should be capable of providing length for Tampa Bay after working between two and 3.2 innings in his prior three outings this season.
