Overview

  • Jack Flaherty will take the mound Wednesday afternoon in the series finale against the Minnesota Twins after back-to-back quality starts.
  • Flaherty is 6–10 with a 4.36 ERA this season and has sharpened his fastball location while mixing in sliders and knuckle-curves.
  • Gleyber Torres and Riley Greene return to Detroit’s lineup after each sat out Tuesday’s game with a forearm issue and a slump respectively.
  • The Twins placed right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson on the 15-day injured list Monday due to a lingering stomach illness.
  • Minnesota will hand the ball to Pierson Ohl for his second career start and lean on its bullpen after trading away five relievers last week.
