OTHER NOTES:

It’s a short trip for the Tigers today for their Grapefruit League opener, but not a lot of regulars on the trip. Most of them are staying back today and starting the home opener tomorrow.

One player worth watching today will be Steve Lombardozzi, who gets the start at shortstop. He has played very few games at short over his career, but manager Brad Ausmus is trying to work him in as the short-term backup to Jose Iglesias. In other words, if Iglesias had a minor injury that cost him a few games but didn’t require a DL stint, Lombardozzi would fill in. If Iglesias had something more serious that cost him more time, he’d obviously go on the DL, and the Tigers would call up Hernan Perez as a replacement from Triple-A Toledo.

No TV for this game, but you can listen on the radio on AM 1270 and online via via MLB Gameday Audio or through the At-Bat app.
