Houser will work as a starter this spring, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Houser's chances of making the Brewers' Opening Day roster would have improved had he worked as a reliever this spring, but the club wants him to continue starting one way or another, whether that be in the majors or the minors. Houser started seven games for Double-A Biloxi after being acquired by the Brewers last season and posted a 2.92 ERA and 32:6 K:BB ratio over 37 innings.
