Toronto Wants Tallet To Start Upon Return

Blue Jays starter Brian Tallet, on the 15-day disabled list with a forearm strain, is expected to be back "sometime in May" according to Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston.

Tallet, who went on the DL April 18, is currently rehabbing at the Jays' Minor League facility in Dunedin, Fla.

With the Blue Jays starting rotation pitching very well as of late, many wonder how Tallet will fit into the equation upon his return.

"We're going to have him start," Gaston said. "We don't want to send him back to the bullpen only to bring him back as a starter. His program is based on that he's coming back as a starter."
