Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Sunday that a decision hasn't been made whether Urena (groin) will serve as a starter or reliever upon returning from the 10-day injured list, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Urena made his second rehab start at Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, striking out two over two scoreless frames. He made the appearance on three days' rest rather than the standard four between starts, which would seemingly hint that the Tigers are leaning toward deploying him as a multi-inning arm out of the bullpen once he's activated. The need for the Tigers to build Urena back up for starting duty is lessened by the fact that he's on a similar recovery timeline as Matthew Boyd (triceps), whose impending return from the IL would allow Detroit to keep its six-man rotation intact.
