The Tigers have today off, and host the White Sox tomorrow. Tarik Skubal will face Erick Fedde. Coverage will begin at 6:15 on 99.3 The Lift.
Second baseman Gleyber Torres is back on the injured list with a strained left oblique. That’s the same injury that knocked him out of the lineup for a month earlier this year.
Wenceel Pérez missed last night’s game after a freak accident in the training room. Manager A.J. Hinch said a resistance band slipped off its hook while Pérez was working out, snapped back, and hit him just below the left eye. He’s undergoing tests.
The Brewers clubbed the Guardians 9-4 last night. Brandon Sproat turned in three scoreless innings, but left the game after Daniel Schneemann hit a grand slam in the fourth. Three relievers held Cleveland to just one hit over the rest of the game, with Chad Patrick getting the win. Christian Yelich and Jackson Chourio homered.
