CLEVELAND -- A day after Jordan Zimmermann took a 105.6-mph line drive off his right jaw, the Tigers right-hander said he felt OK under the circumstances. While his jaw swelled up, he said he had no headaches, nothing to make him think he shouldn't be able to make his next start next Tuesday against the Orioles.
That's a huge relief for the Tigers and manager Ron Gardenhire, the latter of which is trying to sort out his pitching staff after using so many arms in relief Wednesday. It's also a credit, Gardenhire said, to the Tigers' medical staff, notably head athletic trainer Doug Teter.
