The Tigers will soon have a decision to make on Jose Valverde.
Valverde pitched for the third time in extended spring training Monday.
Valverde threw two scoreless innings against the Canadian National team in a scrimmage at the Disney complex. He did not allow a hit or a walk and struck out four.
Valverde also threw a scoreless inning last Friday and a bullpen session last Wednesday.
