Welcome to another merciful off day. Solid performances by Spencer Turnbull and Daniel Norris (except that one inning) couldn’t get the Detroit Tigers past the Indians, as they were swept out of Cleveland over the weekend. While we await the upcoming series with the Texas Rangers, take some time to catch up on some links.
This season has not played out the way most would have expected for Joe Jimenez. He is struggling to pitch well with any kind of consistency, and efforts to move him around in his role in the bullpen have recently resulted in manager Ron Gardenhire giving up and slotting him back into the eighth inning roll where Jimenez is (presumably) going to sink or swim.
