One of the biggest questions surrounding each of the 30 MLB clubs heading into Thursday’s season opener is: What will the very first starting lineup of the regular season look like?

LAKELAND, Fla. — The last time Trevor Rosenthal faced Major League hitters, he was pitching in the 2020 NLCS at Globe Life Field in Texas. Corey Seager was among the Dodgers hitters he faced, and the Padres relievers who pitched before him included Luis Patiño and Matt Strahm. That was 2 1/2 years and two
As expected, the Tigers will place Tyler Nevin on the 10-day injured list to begin the season. Nevin suffered a Grade 1 oblique strain a little less than three weeks ago, making it doubtful that the 25-year-old would be fully recovered in time for Opening Day.

But the thing is: Those teams can survive their absences. They’ll miss those players, of course, but they can get by. Need proof? It was just two seasons ago that the Braves lost superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. to a season-ending knee injury in July … And went on to win the World Series. But as
DUNEDIN, Fla. — Matthew Boyd has nothing left to prove at Spring Training. The left-hander was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday night, a 4-1 win over the Blue Jays, in part to allow the Tigers to look at other pitchers competing to make the Opening Day roster. “Matt’s done everything that we really wanted

In the end, an injury to right-hander Michael Lorenzen left an opening for at least the first turn through the Detroit Tigers’ starting rotation. On Friday, manager A.J. Hinch announced that Wentz will break camp with the major league club for
DETROIT — Lori Patterson is out to set the record straight. Patterson, who serves as the executive director of Figure Skating in Detroit, said the biggest misconception of the program is its fundamental reason for existing. “What a lot of people don’t know is that Figure Skating in Detroit isn’t just about figure skating,” Patterson
Tigers right-hander Michael Lorenzen is going to start the season on the 15-day injured list, manager A.J. Hinch indicated this afternoon (relayed by Chris McCosky of the Detroit News).
