Toronto — The Tigers could be getting veteran right-hander Jose Urena back at some point next week. The question is, how will he fit back into the pitching plans for the rest of the season?
“I don’t know the full answer yet,” manager AJ Hinch said.
Hinch and pitching coach Chris Fetter met on that issue and others before the game here Sunday. Urena, recovering from a groin injury, threw two scoreless innings for Triple-A Toledo on Saturday. Normally, the Tigers would give him one more rehab start, stretch him to four innings and maybe 60 pitches, before activating him.
