KANSAS CITY -- For the first time since at least 2014, and maybe for the first time in his managerial tenure, Brad Ausmus has a bullpen at full strength. With both Alex Wilson and Blaine Hardy back from the disabled list, Ausmus has the bullpen combination he had been planning since the Tigers made their late-inning makeover last fall.
"It looks very close to what we would've envisioned in Spring Training," Ausmus said.
The late-inning trio remains the same, with Mark Lowe and Justin Wilson setting up closer Francisco Rodriguez.
