Minneapolis — Buck Farmer left his outfielder glove in Detroit, but no matter. If manager Ron Gardenhire needed an emergency fielder Saturday, he was ready.

“It would be awesome,” he said. “It would be — awesome.”

As Gardenhire said, the Tigers had a bit of a lineup issue Saturday.

“It’s called, not enough people,” he said.

Right fielder Nick Castellanos will not play in either game against the Twins this weekend. The tendinitis in his right big toe is better, but he's still not fit to play in sub-40-degree temperatures.
