Makes sense given how weird it would be for him to come out of the pen without proper warm up although i know he did it for Japan once.
That makes by far the most sense given how the rules for DH work. He won't have tons of innings in him on short rest, and if you brought him in as a reliever you lose the DH and that really hurts you if the has a short outing or the game ends up in extras.

I'd expect him to be more of an opener tomorrow (or maybe like 3-4 innings max) and then Glasnow and then Snell if necessary (also likely only an inning or maybe two). It's really too bad they couldn't extend the 9th tonight. Even getting Glasnow to throw 15 pitches in a win likely reduces his effectiveness and duration tomorrow, which matters a lot.
