Lakins was reassigned to minor-league camp Wednesday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Lakins was sidelined for the second half of the 2021 campaign due to an elbow injury, but he was fully healthy for spring training this year. He posted a 3.68 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 7.1 innings across his four relief appearances in the Grapefruit League but will be forced to start the regular season at Triple-A Norfolk.
