Transactions are showing JHen and Chase Lee... where are you seeing SGL coming up...?

He's with the team. He'll be activated for tomorrow's game.

After today’s loss to the Mets, pitching seems like a pretty big deal. After all the Tigers did score 8 runs and normally that would be enough.

One of the previous knocks on this team was the dearth of bats and position players in the minors. But that issue now seems to have been addressed.

So aside from Jackson Jobe, do the Tigers have some arms in the minors that we can rely upon when the position players come up here?

Sommers can be gone.

I think I’m more comfortable with a Melton start.

I shan't disagree here.

They did just bring up Melton. He is a starter being used in the pen now, but I suspect he'll be in the rotation at some point. Hamm is struggling more this season. Madden is still out. Harris may go back to drafting pitchers higher. Who knows. There are no top 100 arms after Melton.
