Tyler Holton To Open, Reese Olson Serving As Bulk Reliever
Detroit Tigers left-hander Tyler Holton is serving as the team's opener on Thursday against the Philadelphia Phillies and he'll likely only pitch one inning, although manager A.J. Hinch has left the door open for a second frame. Rookie right-hander Reese Olson will enter after Holton as the bulk reliever. "With Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper hitting in the first inning, it's a pretty tall task for a right-handed pitcher," Hinch said. In his major-league debut last Friday against the Chicago White Sox, Olson allowed only two runs on two hits while walking one and striking out six in five innings of work, but he'll have a much tougher matchup in his second MLB appearance on the road in a hostile environment. The team's No. 11 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, will be a risky DFS streamer in a bulk-relief role.
