Blue Jays to be cautious with Osuna

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Blue Jays have yet to decide whether Roberto Osuna will be the closer or a setup man this season, but regardless of what direction the club takes, it seems unlikely he will be used for more than one inning at a time, except on rare occasions.

Osuna came up through the Minor Leagues as a starter, but since arriving in the big leagues last year, he has been a short-stint reliever. That will be his role again this year with the club, which wants to be cautious and avoid overworking his young arm.
