"Flaherty, at his best, is a perfectly viable Game 2 starter. But his performance this season has fluctuated as wildly as it did for the Los Angeles Dodgers in last year's playoffs, when he followed his two best starts with poor ones. He warrants only so much trust. With the emerging Melton, Holton and perhaps Brant Hurter, who is currently on the injured list with back soreness at Triple A, the Tigers will not lack for bulk-inning candidates."
"The Tigers suffered another rough loss to the Mets on Tuesday night. While they will attempt to avoid the sweep this afternoon, they're likely already looking forward to tomorrow's off-day. They are also likely probably excited for the upcoming weekend series against the White Sox, which should hopefully go a little better for them than the start of this week has been."
The Tigers suffered another rough loss to the Mets and will try to avoid a sweep while anticipating an off-day and a weekend series against the White Sox. Starting rotation reliability remains uncertain; Flaherty shows top-level potential but has been inconsistent. Emerging starters Melton and Holton, with Brant Hurter currently on a Triple-A injured list, could provide bulk innings, and Javier Urquidy is a possible option. Reliever Tommy Kahnle appears to be overcoming a two-month slump, which should strengthen the bullpen after recent roster moves. Shohei Ohtani hit his 100th Dodger home run and Rafael Devers sparked a brawl after a homer.
