Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowksi wouldn't provide Saturday a range of innings pitcher Drew Smyly will throw in 2014 as he converts back to being a starter. Though, Dombrowksi acknowledged the Tigers will have to monitor the left-hander's workload after throwing just 76 innings in relief in 2013.
The Detroit News speculates the Tigers might cap the 24-year-old pitcher at 140-150 innings. Smyly could be on a strict innings or pitch count at the beginning of the season as well.
