The Tigers are setting their rotation for their first few Spring Training games next week, with the front-line guys still to come.
Kevin Ziomek, the sixth-ranked Tigers prospect on MLB.com’s board, will start Monday’s exhibition against Florida Southern College. If it works like past springs, he’ll be one of nine pitchers to throw an inning in the annual game.
Matt Boyd, a candidate for the fifth spot in the Tigers rotation after making 10 starts for Detroit down the stretch last year, is slated to start the Grapefruit League opener against the Pirates next Tuesday at Joker Marchant Stadium.
