The Tigers' games on Saturday and Monday will be broadcast on Tigers TV and the radio, respectively, with Dan Dickerson calling the shots. Meanwhile, Justin Verlander, who was away over the weekend on a personal matter, was back in action, throwing a bullpen and discussing setups behind the plate with Dillon Dingler.
The Tigers' top 100-ranked slugging prospect, Josue Briceño, also made an impressive showing in a live BP session, taking Tarik Skubal deep to right. This is a promising sign for the Tigers' #4-ranked prospect, who is sure to be a key player in the team's future success.
The Tigers' pitching plan is a crucial aspect of their spring training, and with so many talented players in the lineup, fans and analysts are eager to see how the team performs. Will the Tigers' pitching plan hold up under pressure?
