Toussaint allowed two hits and one run over six innings in his debut against the Miami Marlins. He will face a much stiffer test against the Red Sox who have the best record in baseball.

Brian Snitker told the AJC on Friday that the team would utilize a six-man rotation over the final month but didn’t provide details of how it would be handled. Toussaint was among Atlanta’s first wave of September roster additions along with fellow pitching prospects Bryse Wilson and Kyle Wright. For now it appears both Wright and Wilson will be used out of the bullpen with Toussaint likely getting a few more starts down the stretch.

An extra day of rest could be beneficial to the rotation, especially a guy like Sean Newcomb who has reached a career-high in innings pitched and has struggled of late.
