Burrows will open the year in the Tigers' bullpen.
EDGE Analysis
While the 23-year-old righty was already on the 40-man roster, this move will allow him to make his big-league debut in 2020. He has worked exclusively as a starter in the minors, but lacks the command and stuff to have success in that role in the majors. However, his low-90s fastball could sit in the mid-90s in shorter stints. He lacks a hammer offspeed pitch, so Burrows will likely be limited to mid-leverage work as a rookie.
