We can definitely find Bedard rest the way our current rotation is constructed.
Every time there's an off day, Wedge puts King Felix on his normal five day spot, not the rotation order spot...and so far, the extra day off has consistently benefited both Pineda and Bedard (Pineda we're protecting this year from too many innings, Bedard needs the extra rest to stay healthy).
We can't ALWAYS give Bedard 6 days, but we can try to work that in there as often as possible by moving him around the rotation depending on when the days off appear.  Our next day off is Monday (we travel home and then face the Rangers for three and the White Sox for three).  King Felix is pitching today, but the offday means Bedard and Pineda get their extra day of rest anyway...followed by...I'm guessing...Fister (not Vargas, who's pitched a lot worse) in the series finale against the STRangers then King Felix/Vargas/and here you have a choice of Pineda or Bedard before the next off day...so someone can get SEVEN days of rest...and someone would only get six.
Wedge is using his ace the way he should be used.  Precisely every five days.  Doing that saves a few starts and helps rest the rest of his rotation.
