Another short outing for Matt Manning as Tigers come up short in finale with Royals

Detroit — Who knows what the Tigers’ rotation might look like in a couple of weeks.

Lefty prospect Joey Wentz could be getting some starts. Elvin Rodriguez might be back. Maybe Beau Brieske gets another start or two.

For sure, though, manager AJ Hinch wants Matt Manning to pitch on regular rest every five days and log as many innings as possible.

“We could use a five-man rotation, a four-man rotation, we’ve even talked about using six,” Hinch said before the Tigers were beaten by the Royals 3-2 in the rubber match of the three-series.
