Eshelman, 23, is among the International League leaders in ERA, WHIP, batting average against and wins. Since his promotion to Triple-A Lehigh Valley he's gone 7-2 in 11 starts and pitched to a 1.96 ERA.
Already at 107 innings pitched on the season including his stint in Reading, the IronPigs plan to carefully watch Eshelman's innings total. He's already been moved to the back of the rotation in an effort to limit his workload.
Jorge Alfaro also played in Wednesday's contest, going 0-for-2.
