Below's start washed away : With Monday night's contest against the Royals being postponed due to rain, manager Jim Leyland said reliever Duane Below will be moved back to the bullpen. Below was scheduled to start Monday's series opener against Kansas City. However, the Tigers will now go to a four-man rotation until Doug Fister returns to the team's rotation next Monday.

Fantasy Analysis
Below has been pitching very well out of Detroit's bullpen thus far and he will now stay there with Fister expected to be return to the rotation next Monday. The left-hander has yet to allow a run over his five relief appearances this season and has registered nine strikeouts over that stretch. However, because he isn't in line for saves, his value will remain limited to deeper AL-only formats moving forward. (Updated 04/30/2012).
