DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Blue Jays announced Saturday that Josh Towers will be the No. 5 starter, with Victor Zambrano moving to the bullpen.

It was assumed that the decision would be made following Towers' sixth Spring Training start on Saturday, but manager John Gibbons ended the suspense when he told the media during batting practice that the pitching staff was finalized.


"Yeah, we went back and forth, but we thought Victor would be stronger down there [in the pen]," said Gibbons. "If you look at it, they've all pitched very, very good. Victor's just more suited, especially in the role we're looking for. Maybe going a couple innings here and there in a big part of the game."
