Tonight’s game is an Apple TV one, because MLB will sellout to anyone offering a bag of money. Trey Yesavage (1-1, 0.68) goes against Brenan Hanifee (0-0, 1.08, making his second start of the season, with 5 relief appearances). It looks like a cloudy day (or a cloudy weekend) in Detroit.
There are a bunch of injury updates:
- Nathan Lukes is to run the bases tomorrow and should start a rehab assignment Monday.
- Alejandro Kirk is ‘catching’ again, as well as throwing and hitting. So he’s getting closer.
- Max Scherzer is throwing.
- Yimi Garcia is throwing again.
- They are still talk about Jose Berrios…..it is possible he’ll have surgery to remove some loose bodies.
And they haven’t made any announcement on tomorrow’s starter or how they plan to get through nine innings. Odds are that Spencer Miles will have a part in it. Some of the plans
will depend on how things go today. I’d imagine that Yariel Rodriguez will be part of things too. But even if both are in the game, there will be 4-5 innings left for others.
Tonight’s lineups:
Tarik Skubal is on the IL but he’s throwing already. The Tigers have Casey Mize starting tomorrow. Sunday It is Kevin Gausman and Jack Flaherty who is 0-4 with a 5.73 ERA. It would be nice if he’s 0-5 after it.
It would be nice to win some of these games. Or all of them.
