There may be a couple of open pitching spots on the opening-day roster. Reliever Bruce Rondon is battling a sore shoulder, which could keep him on the sideline. It’s looking more and more as if starter Justin Verlander might open the season on the disabled list, as he deals with a sore triceps muscle.
