Porcello To Day Games?

With the struggles of Penny pitching the day games, as opposed to the better night stats he’s put up, wouldn’t it have made more sense to adjust the rotation to get Kid Rick out there on the day game schedule – where he’s held batters to a .267 BAA, as opposed to a .297 in night games? He’s gone 17-12 in day games and has a lower ERA by 3 tenths of a point (all stats via baseball reference). Wouldn't this be a solid solution to get Penny out of the sun, where he's been subpar to say the least, and get FredFred a chance to put up some numbers in situations in which he has done adequately? IMO, it couldn't hurt and I don't see why they haven't done this yet - except that changing around the rotation might be cumbersome from a practical standpoint.
