GDT: 6/14/12 - DET (29-33) AT CHC (21-41) - 2:20 p.m. ET

Tigers: RHP Justin Verlander (5-4, 2.69 ERA)

Considering how tough it is for division foes to hit Verlander when they've seen him so often, NL foes seeing him for the first time are usually in for a treat. The Reds got him for two runs in six innings, but the Cubs could be challenged.



Cubs: LHP Travis Wood (0-2, 4.71 ERA)

Wood didn't have his good stuff in his last start, against the Twins, giving up three runs on six hits and three walks over five innings. This will be his first career start vs. the Tigers. Wood has faced only one AL East team, the Yankees.






INJURY UPDATE:

• RHP Al Alburquerque (right elbow surgery, 60-day disabled list on April 4).
• C Alex Avila (right hamstring strain, 15-day disabled list on June 6).
• OF Andy Dirks (right Achilles tendinitis, 15-day disabled list on May 31).
• RHP Octavio Dotel (right elbow inflammation, 15-day disabled list on June 3).
• RHP Doug Fister (left side strain, 15-day disabled list on May 29).
• C Victor Martinez (left knee surgery, 60-day disabled list on March 12).
