Manager Buck Showalter has been touting left-hander Chris Lee, who missed much of last season with a shoulder injury, as a starting option because of right-hander Chris Tillman's uncertain status.
Showalter sees lots he likes about Lee.
"Being able to pitch in the strike zone with his fastball, works fast, throws the ball over," he said. "Not many people can pitch in the strike zone with their fastball. See a lot of deep, deep swings, balls getting deep on some decent hitters."
