Makes sense to me. Rodney & Ledezma still have options. Hpoefully they wouldn't take it as a demotion or lack of confidence in them. Gives Knotts, Colyer or Creek one more chance when it counts. Gives Tigers more time to evaluate if they want to trade Urbina or not.

Bonderman
Robertson (L)
Johnson
Maroth (L)
Knotts (long relief/spot starter)
