Tigers pitching coach Rick Anderson said he expects Nova and the other Detroit starters to be stretched out to at least 75 pitches by the end of summer camp, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

This should put Nova and the other starters in line for pretty regular workloads by their first or second start of the season. If that's the case, Detroit will likely stick with a standard five-man rotation and could use Tyler Alexander and Michael Fulmer in long-relief roles out of the gate. Nova agreed to a one-year deal with the Tigers in January, and the veteran figures to serve as a stopgap until the likes of Matt Manning and Casey Mize are ready to take over in Detroit, which could happen sometime this summer.
