Jack Flaherty exited Tuesday's game after pitching five scoreless innings with just 60 pitches. He was seen stretching in the dugout before being removed, and it's reported by Bally Sports Detroit that he left the game due to back tightness. Despite the discomfort, Flaherty is optimistic that he won't miss his next start, as he will have extra days to rest and receive treatment due to upcoming off-days. Alex Faedo began pitching in the sixth inning.
