Detroit — You could sense the progress from Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire pretty early in his Zoom chat with the media before Tuesday’s game.
The voice was strong and clear and, best of all, the appetite was back.
“Just had a ham and cheese sandwich, a grilled ham and cheese,” Gardenhire said. “It’s the first thing I’ve put of any substance in my body. We’ll see how that goes.
“But it’s been a tough couple of days, I can tell you that.”
Gardenhire missed the last two games (Sunday and Monday) in the Labor Day weekend series in Minnesota because of a stomach virus.
