Rest-of-Season Projections
Mantei has decided to retire rather than rehab a shoulder injury that he suffered earlier this week, the Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
"This is it," Mantei said. "I'm done. I threw a pitch the other day, felt something give and could barely lift my arm the next morning. Whatever was in there, holding on to the last string, finally gave." Mantei had been throwing well early in camp but he was always an injury risk given the series of arm problems he's had over his career.
