Fister to Begin Rehab

Detroit RHP Doug Fister, injured in his first start of the season on April 7, will make his first rehab start on Wednesday with Toledo.  He could rejoin the rotation after only one start.  Fister was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained rib cage in his 2012 debut against Boston after pitching 3.2 scoreless innings.

Fister threw a problem-free bullpen session Saturday.  He went 8-1 with a 1.79 ERA in ten starts for Detroit after being acquired in a mid-season trade from Seattle, normally pitching behind RHP Justin Verlander, who won the AL Cy Young Award last season.
