Well, they say bad news comes in threes. Yesterday was the gut punch news of Casey Mize landing on the IL with what was revealed today to be a strain in his elbow ligament. This was followed by the 10-day IL placement of Javier Báez before the game. And during today’s game, which the Tigers lost to the Kansas City Royals, 3-1, Matt Manning was removed with right shoulder discomfort. [Intense screaming sounds]. Okay, here’s how the game went down.
Manning pitched well in his two innings of work, consistently getting soft contact from the Kansas City hitters.
