Tigers: RHP Max Scherzer (2-3, 5.73 ERA)

White Sox: RHP Jake Peavy (4-1, 1.89 ERA)

Another start, another dominant effort for Peavy. He worked seven innings against the Indians and wasn't scored upon until that seventh and final frame. Peavy has fanned 44 and walked seven in 52 1/3 innings this season.

• RHP Al Alburquerque (right elbow surgery, 60-day disabled list on April 4).
• RHP Luis Marte (strained left hamstring, 15-day disabled list on April 4).
