Arlington, Texas — Soon after the Tigers get back from this three-city road trip, Spencer Turnbull is expected to be done with his rehab assignment and ready to rejoin the rotation.

Which begs the question: Who goes back to Toledo?

It will either be Drew VerHagen or Tyler Alexander, most likely. And on Friday night, Alexander, the Dallas-area native pitching in front of a large contingent of family and friends, did not make a compelling case for himself.

He gave up four runs and 10 hits in 5.
