For River Ryan, the question isn’t ability. The question is health.
“I don’t think it’s whether I’m going to be able to go out there and perform. I think it’s whether I can go up there and be healthy, be available. That’s what I’m mainly working towards right now.”

Last time Tigers overcame multiple 3-run deficits to win a game, Brandon Inge hit a walkoff single and Daniel Schlereth got the win for a 2010 team that set the table for 4 straight division titles. Tigers hope Saturday's 7-run 8th is a sign of things to come:

He's on the 60-day injured list. He's not taking up a 28- or 40-man roster spot. The insanity is in the replies to every Verlander update.

River Ryan will start again for Triple-A Toledo on regular rest or an extra day, according to A.J. Hinch. That would seemingly point to next Tuesday, when Mud Hens begin a homestand vs. Louisville.
Jack Flaherty will throw a sim game on Saturday morning, likely 2 or 3 innings.

Three strikeouts in four batters for Drew Sommers today.
32 K's over 19.1 innings since July 31.
Tigers bullpen will likely look quite a bit different next year, but Sommers figures to be a big part of it.
