LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — If Detroit Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire had to guess, and that’s what he did in the dugout at Champion Field on Wednesday afternoon, right-handed pitcher Mike Fiers will start the season on the 10-day disabled list due to a lower back strain. Fiers suffered the injury during an early spring workout.
“We’re still working it,” Gardenhire said about Fiers, who missed a scheduled start on Tuesday due to the back soreness.
