Detwiler will open the season as the Rangers' fourth starter, MLB.com's TR Sullivan reports.

Analysis:

Yovani Gallardo will start on Opening Day, while the fifth and final spot in the rotation remains up for grabs, with Nick Tepesch and Nick Martinez the leading candidates. Detwiler's having a solid but unspectacular spring, and his first start lines up for April 7 or 8 in Oakland, as Derek Holland isn't expected to pitch until the home opener, reports Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News.
