Detroit Tigers Pitchers and Catchers report back in two days. Baseball is back this week! Tigers relief pitchers Drew VerHagen and Joe Jimenez are looking to bounce back in the bullpen. Chris McCoskey, of the Detroit News, writes that VerHagen and Jimenez should serve as pockets of hope during the rebuild.
VerHagen is no longer trying to compete for a spot in the starting rotation. Instead, he’s competing for a late-inning relief job during the 2018 season. Joe Jimenez struggled last season on the mound, but he isn’t going to let that deter him according to Evan Woodbery.
