Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman is now being considered for a rotation spot, according to MLB.com.

All offseason, the club stressed Stroman would likely begin the year in the minors. General manager Alex Anthopoulos slightly recanted recently, saying he's not concerned about preserving Stroman's service time. With J.A. Happ dealing with fatigue, Stroman could move his way into the rotation with a couple strong spring showings.
