The Detroit Tigers are getting a key piece of their coaching staff back for the first time this season.
Pitching coach Chris Fetter has been cleared to return from COVID-19, the team announced Thursday. Missing since the end of spring training, he will travel with the Tigers on their upcoming 10-game road trip, which starts Friday in Cleveland.
Manager AJ Hinch hinted Wednesday that Fetter would return soon.
"He's feeling better," Hinch said. "He's symptom-free. He's running through the protocols that MLB has mandated for all personnel that tests positive.
