Kansas City, Mo. — A day after one starting pitcher was placed on the injured list, another left the game after just two innings.
Tough times for the Tigers’ rotation.
With Casey Mize out for at least 10 days with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right elbow, Matt Manning was removed from his start Saturday after throwing 38 pitches in two laborious innings.
The Tigers announced Manning was feeling discomfort in his right shoulder.
Manning gave up a run on two singles in the first inning, then escaped the second inning despite giving up three more singles.
