Blue Jays' Stroman to pitch out of bullpen for remainder of season

Those hoping to see Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Marcus Stroman make another start will have to wait until next season.

Stroman, who is currently serving a five-game suspension for throwing behind the head of Baltimore Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph, began his 2014 major league season in the bullpen before being stretched out as a starter. 

It's been an encouraging rookie season for the Blue Jays' 2012 first-round pick. In 20 starts, Stroman owns an 11-9 record and 3.29 ERA to go with 102 strikeouts in 120 1/3 innings.

The 23-year-old has already thrown 162 1/3 innings between Toronto and Triple-A Buffalo, eclipsing his previous career-high of 111 2/3 from a season ago.
