After acquiring Chris Paddack and Charlie Morton, the Tigers now have more starters than they can fit in the rotation. Tarik Skubal, Casey Mize, and Jack Flaherty fill out the rest of the core five. Troy Melton was shifted to the bullpen, and Detroit still has depth options in the minors, namely Keider Montero. Sawyer Gipson-Long is also currently in a rehab assignment.
There's also Alex Cobb, who's been MIA all season and now only has about seven weeks to contribute at all to the team he signed a $15 million deal with. To his credit, Cobb is still working toward a comeback during the regular season and is also on a rehab assignment with Triple-A.
