The Detroit Tigers and Colorado Rockies will play Saturday at Coors Field. First pitch is at 7:10 p.m. MT.
Detroit (35-45 SU and 42-38 RL) has not named a starting pitcher for tomorrow's game. Matthew Boyd would have been in line to take the mound, but he exited his last start with elbow discomfort that will require Tommy John surgery.
Colorado (32-51 SU and 38-45 RL) has not named a starter, either. It's likely both teams will utilize their bullpens for most of the game.
Detroit split its previous series with Texas. The Tigers are ten games under .500 but only four games out of first place in the AL Central. With a strong second half, anything is possible!
Detroit averages 3.80 runs (28th) and hits .229 (28th) with a .663 OPS (29th). It's hit 73 long balls (27th) and stolen 38 bases (29th) in 2023. The Tigers' pitching staff has compiled a 4.42 ERA (19th) and a 1.27 WHIP (16th) with 18 quality starts.

The Tigers are missing several starting pitchers, as well as CF Riley Greene and LF Akil Baddoo. With several starters unavailable, the bullpen could be on the hook for the bulk of the workload in Denver. The Detroit pen has a 3.91 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP this season.
