The Detroit Tigers are currently taking on the Kansas City Royals in a four-game series.
Detroit was victorious on Thursday by a score of 4-3. They have won three of their last four games and now sit at 49-54 on the season, which is good for six games back of first place in the AL Central.
On Friday, the Tigers are sending their ace, Tarik Skubal, to the mound, which has prompted some slight lineup changes, including with Gleyber Torres. Although Torres’s change is just a positional switch.

The Detroit Tigers released their lineup for Friday’s contest against the Royals. Gleyber Torres, who has played second base in each of the last four games he’s started, is the designated hitter on Friday.
It’s one of several small changes by manager AJ Hinch, with the main one being Kevin McGonigle getting the day off. Kansas City is going with Beck Way (1–0, 3.22 ERA, 21 SO, RHP) as their starter on Friday night.Â
Here is the full Tigers lineup for 7/24, courtesy of @UnderdogMLB:Â
Tigers 7/24: “C. Keith 3B G. Torres DH D. Dingler C R. Greene LF S. Torkelson 1B H. Lee 2B Z. McKinstry SS M. Vierling CF B. Malgeri RF T. Skubal SP”
Some notables from the lineup drop: There are a few more lefties in the batting order for the Tigers on Friday, but Kerry Carpenter, who usually always plays against RHP, is also out of the order.
