DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Let's play two!

Sunday is the first split-squad day of the season for the Detroit Tigers. Manager Ron Gardenhire will take mostly young players with him on the bus to Dunedin to play the Toronto Blue Jays.

Most of the regulars will stay home to face the Pittsburgh Pirates.

At home, 2017 first-round pick Alex Faedo could make his Tigers debut in relief; Matthew Boyd will make his first start of the season in Dunedin.

The full lineups and pitching plans are below.
