A rookie of mine (Juan Padilla) has pitched 21.2 scoreless innings since being called up for the first time to the major leagues. That's probably my longest rookie score innings streak.

... What's yours?

Why has he started two games already? Hopefully you're not planning on transitioning him into the starting rotation mid-season.

He's probably a long reliever... the game gives all the spot starts to the LR...

You're spot on metsguy... Padilla is a long reliever.

I always have a "long" reliever with higher endurance than that (at least the mid 30's, if not in the 40's), but that makes sense and explains the starts then.

Yeah, usually I tend to find old veteran starters to plug up the LR role, or relievers with endurance in the 30's or 40's, but I had to bring Padilla up, and all my other RP slots were taken care of, so I just put him in as LR.

Yeah, not really a big deal since the auto-sort will put them in unusual spots anyway (i.e. a long reliever with 19 endurance)... and if you play PBP, totally irrelevant then since you're making the decisions in game.
