SEATTLE (AP) -Detroit manager Jim Leyland is encouraged with the progress of reliever Joel Zumaya and starters Dontrelle Willis and Jeremy Bonderman.
Speaking before Sunday’s series finale in Seattle, Leyland said that initial reports on Zumaya’s relief appearance Saturday night with Triple-A Toledo were good. Zumaya threw two scoreless innings, allowed just two hits and struck out one in his first outing at Toledo.
Leyland said Zumaya is scheduled to throw again Tuesday and Wednesday.
Willis is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at Class-A Lakeland on Tuesday as he recovers from anxiety disorder, and Bonderman has looked strong in bullpen sessions as he battles tightness in his pitching shoulder.
