Kenta Maeda has been informed that he will begin the season in the bullpen, according to manager A.J. Hinch. After a disappointing first season with the Detroit Tigers, where he faced significant struggles leading to a midseason demotion, Maeda aimed to regain a starting rotation spot. However, despite an impressive strikeout-to-walk ratio during spring training, he gave up a concerning number of earned runs and home runs. With other pitchers, including Tarik Skubal and Jack Flaherty, vying for rotation spots, Maeda will bolster the bullpen as the Tigers finalize their roster.
