Gee will begin the season in the starting rotation according to manager Terry Collins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. With Zack Wheeler suffering a torn UCL that will cost him the entire 2015 season, the fifth spot in the team's rotation became available. Gee was being viewed as a long reliever and possible trade candidate earlier in camp, but he'll spend the rest of the spring preparing as a starter. The 28-year-old posted a 4.00 ERA (4.52 FIP), 6.2 K/9, and 2.8 BB/9 in 22 starts last season.
