Anibal Sanchez, Daniel Norris to get starts as Tigers tweak rotation



DETROIT ? Anibal Sanchez pitched well enough in six relief appearances to regain a spot in the Detroit Tigers starting rotation and Daniel Norris will be recalled from Triple A Toledo to join him, at least for one game.

Manager Brad Ausmus said after Tuesday's 4-2 victory over Seattle that Sanchez, who was banished to the bullpen June 1, will start Saturday against the Cleveland Indians at Comerica Park.

Norris will be called up to start Thursday's series finale against the Mariners in place of Matt Boyd, was sent to Toledo after getting shelled Saturday in a 16-5 loss at Kansas City.

Ausmus said Mike Pelfrey's next start has been moved from Saturday to next Tuesday. That means rookie Michael Fulmer will miss a start next week. (Mlive)

Big series with the Indians starting tomorrow.

 

Tonight the Indians and Tigers have a big series. The Tribe are starting Salazar and the Tigers go with Zimmermann.

Go Tigers !
