Shane Smith , a Rule 5 pick from the Brewers , pitched four scoreless innings in four spring starts.

Clev Cannon was penciled in for a rotation spot coming into camp based on last year’s success as a rookie.

Former starter Mike Clevinger , also on a minor-league deal, pitched his fourth straight inning of scoreless relief Wednesday , striking out two in his bid to return as a closer.
