Guthrie will "assume his regular position in the back of the club's rotation" in 2015, the Kansas City Star reports. Guthrie was moved down to make a start in the minors instead of his regular spring start earlier in the week, as it was instead Chris Young who took the hill with the big league squad. However, Guthrie had been dealing with an illness of late, which likely had more to do with the switch than any pending demotion. The club fully expects the veteran to round out their rotation this year, but being a contract season with many young arms on the horizon in the organization, it could be one of his last years with the team.
