I saw Thursday morning Tigers pitcher Drew Smyly, who recently lost out on the final spot in the team's rotation to Rick Porcello, pitched five innings in a minor-league game Wednesday, according to MLive.com.
It's interesting a pitcher headed to the bullpen is still being stretched out. I encourage all Fantasy owners to read between the lines here. It still looks as though the Tigers might be trying to deal Porcello and are keeping Smyly stretched out in case something happens before the start of the season. Fantasy owners in deeper formats, particularly AL-only, might want to keep Smyly on their radar.
