Cleveland — Is it an important start for right-hander Jose Urena on Tuesday? Of course it is. For the Tigers, for sure. For him, as well, for his own peace of mind.
But is it a make-or-break start in terms of keeping his spot in the Tigers’ rotation?
It is not.
“As far as the rotation spot, he’s going to start tomorrow, and he’s going to start again either this weekend or in Texas next week and then he’s going to get one more start in Minnesota before the All-Star break,” manager AJ Hinch said before the game Monday.
