Blue Jays' Joe Biagini: Settling into idea of full-time relief role

Biagini, who was once being considered for a rotation spot, is trending toward spending the entire 2017 campaign as a reliever, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

The storyline behind what exactly Biagini will be doing this season is finally beginning to take shape. With the recent signing of Matt Latos and other arms like T.J. House, Mike Bolsinger and Brett Oberholtzer available, Biagini appears destined for a full-time relief role. Bouncing the sophomore in and out of the rotation is an injury-risk that the Jays have the depth to avoid. That said, Biagini, who appeared in 60 games last year, is in line for another busy season. The notable difference this time around will be that the 26-year-old should get more high-leverage chances which could result in fantasy-worthy marks.
