Tigers Adjust Rotation Amid Valdez Absence | Detroit Tigers News
Description
The Detroit Tigers are riding a hot streak—winning eight of their last ten games—just as they hit the All-Star break, but a major pitching shakeup looms: lefty Framber Valdez is sidelined on bereavement leave ahead of their final game against the Phillies. Manager A.J. Hinch has already penciled in Troy Melton, Tarik Skubal, and Casey Mize for the upcoming series in LA, aiming to minimize disruption while keeping Skubal on schedule. With Valdez’s absence, Hinch faces tough calls for the July 22nd game in Chicago, weighing Melton on short rest or rookie Keider Montero. The Tigers’ momentum meets adversity as they navigate roster adjustments before the break.
