Hand took the loss Friday, allowing two runs on three hits while recording just two outs in relief against the Mets. Hand has been roughed up in his last two appearances, allowing five earned runs on six hits over 3.2 innings pitched. After losing out on a rotation spot in the spring, Hand was again passed over in favor of David Phelps when Henderson Alvarez (shoulder) hit the disabled list. He'll remain in the bullpen as a swing man for the foreseeable future.
