Detroit Tigers' Al Avila breaks down possible 6-man rotation, outfield race on eve of camp

LAKELAND, Fla. — Spring training is here, and the Detroit Tigers face unanswered questions.

The Tigers don't have a solidified first baseman, and the opening at third base is just as unclear. Managing young arms — Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal and Matt Manning — and bounce-back candidates — Matthew Boyd, Michael Fulmer and Jose Urena — with innings limits keeps the organization wondering if a six-man rotation is inevitable.

"Today we had our staff meeting, my first staff meeting with them," Tigers general manager Al Avila said Tuesday.
