Willis coming back ... to the bullpen
Published 5/21/2008 at FOXSports.com News for MLB
The Tigers expect to get pitcher Dontrelle Willis back Thursday, but will use him out of the bullpen at first.
Manager Jim Leyland said Wednesday the club expected Willis to come off the disabled list before the following day's game against Seattle. Right-hander Armando Galarraga - the man who replaced him - will remain in the starting rotation.
Willis, on the disabled list because of a hyperextended right knee since April 12, went 1-1 with 4.41 ERA in three rehab starts at Triple-A Toledo.
