Cardinals' Tink Hence Likely Shifting to Relief Role

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol indicated that Tink Hence will continue on a reliever's schedule for the remainder of spring training. While the team hasn't definitively closed the door on a starting role, signs point to a permanent move to the bullpen for the 23-year-old. Hence, a former top-50 prospect, has struggled with injuries, never reaching 100 innings in a season. He pitched one scoreless inning with one strikeout in his first spring appearance.
