Pitching rotation next week:
Minnesota: ERod, Pineda, Skubal
LA: Alexander or Brieske on Friday/Saturday...they are not sure of the order; Erod Sunday.
Mize and Manning both headed to Lakeland to continue their pitching program. This means that manning will be out longer than expected. We already know that Mize is out awhile.
Brieske will start either Friday or Saturday is Los Angeles.
Unless something changes, Javy Baez will be activated tomorrow. That should hopefully lessen the amount of playing time for the Castros. Willi will go down if Javy is ready.
Brieske is the exact prospect the Tigers have needed. Profiles as an end of the rotation starter...could be more if he commands his fastball.
Send him down after tonight he can work out the kinks.
Smart to pull Alexander at 42 pitches. Make this a bullpen day and you can use him as early as Saturday(Manning's spot).
Unless of course he is injured.
