Detroit will temporarily operate with a nine-man relief group and four starters.

They’ll push Jack Flaherty’s start back to Thursday against the Guardians while deploying a bullpen game on Wednesday in St. Louis.

he probably begged off, scared of the Cards juggernaut lineup.

The Tigers are getting too cute. Same as using an opener last night.

Reminds me of when the Cardinals switched up their rotation last year against the Royals/Cubs.

My first thought too plus the thought he might get booed.

He’s probably pouting about the catcher or has some woke event to attend. Good riddance.

To have an opener and a pen game in the sane series is suspect. Where are their starters.

Just put Reese Olson on the 15-day injured list.

Casey Mize went down with a hamstring strain a couple weeks ago, while they’ve been without Alex Cobb all season due to a right hip issue.

I was hoping to watch the Cardinals beating the snot out of Flaherty, but maybe another bullpen game will favor the Cards.

Flaherty probably begged off it

Yes, it was probably uppity-related.

Wow...bitterich.

Did you all forget his 6 and 2/3 innings his only time facing the Cards last year 14 Ks...1 hit, no decision.

Why would he be aghast at facing the Cards

Could’ve been fun watching Contreras take him deep after throwing a pitch that “didn’t make sense”.

Don’t care about his stupid politics or anyone else’s for that matter, but it was pretty weak to publicly blame his teammate on his own mediocre-to-poor performance. Glad they didn’t re-sign him.
