Ricky Vanasco Throws Bullpen On Tuesday
Detroit Tigers right-handed pitcher Ricky Vanasco (hip) threw a bullpen session on Tuesday. The 26-year-old is working his way back from a labral tear in his right hip. Vanasco signed a minor-league deal with Detroit earlier in the offseason. He underwent hip surgery in the offseason but has begun playing catch and will now look to take the next step in his recovery. The right-hander made his MLB debut last season and held a 6.75 ERA with a 0.75 WHIP across four innings of work. Through 40 1/3 innings at Triple-A last summer, the former 17th-round selection posted a 2.45 ERA with a 1.51 WHIP. He tallied 48 punchouts but served up 30 free passes. When he is cleared for action, fantasy managers should expect Vanasco to compete for a bullpen role.
