CINCINNATI -- The Tigers' six-man rotation plan is in place -- sort of.
Francisco Liriano is back with the team after his rehab start Sunday night for Triple-A Toledo, and is on track to return from the disabled list and start for the Tigers over the weekend in Cleveland. It'll be his first start since May 26, having missed the last few weeks with a right hamstring strain. Manager Ron Gardenhire is not saying yet which game in Cleveland he'll start.
Blaine Hardy, who has fared well as a starter while filling in for the injured Liriano and Jordan Zimmermann, remains in the rotation mix as well.
