DETROIT -- The Tigers returned to work at Comerica Park on Friday without the architect of their pitching plan. While pitching coach Chris Bosio rests at home for the next couple of weeks under doctors' orders with an undisclosed medical issue, the Tigers play on with bullpen coach Rick Anderson serving in the role.
It's not so much a complete break for Bosio as it is a switch to telecommuting. Under the arrangement, Bosio will work on scouting reports, video analysis and analytics input from home on his computer and send everything to the staff. Bosio wanted to do it, said manager Ron Gardenhire, who likes the work Bosio was doing.
