You never like to see your teammates leave, but I'm excited for the opportunity and hope to make the best of it.

Certainly, I want to get back to starting and go that road, ... I just have to wait and see how things are going to play out this year going into Spring Training.

I knew there was that possibility there, that I would get a shot to be in the rotation. Now I've just got to go out and do the job.

I threw all my pitches that were ready today. My fastball command was good, and that's key for me.

It's satisfying to play well against these teams, like we're supposed to, not for us to play spoiler. We haven't packed it in yet, and we're going to finish up the season strong.

I feel comfortable. I don't think there's anything that has to change in my game.

The way this year worked out was definitely a different experience for me, trying to make different adjustments through the year, ... It's certainly been a good experience. It's always good to be versatile and have that experience and know what it takes.

I'm glad I'm getting the opportunity again to start, but it's just an opportunity. I still have to prove I can do the job. Nothing has been handed to me.

You've got to be able to pitch inside, and sometimes you're going to miss.
