Detroit Tigers Gameday: Justin Verlander goes for third straight win vs. Mets.

DETROIT -- Victor Martinez is back in the Detroit Tigers lineup, but Cameron Maybin is missing a second day in Friday's series opener against the New York Mets.
Martinez sat out Thursday after feeling under the weather. Maybin has been out with a mild thumb sprain. Tyler Collins will start in his place.
"There's still some swelling (of Maybin's thumb)," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "It could be another day, it could be another two days."
An ultrasound revealed no structural damage.

Detroit Tigers: Zimmermann Just Wasn’t Ready.

Next start for Jordan Zimmermann hinges on Sunday bullpen session.
Mlive

An MRI performed after the game revealed no structural damage.

If the bullpen session doesn't go well, Zimmermann could still be placed on the DL retroactive to Thursday.

If that occurs, Daniel Norris would appear to be most likely to take his spot in the rotation. In his first start since being optioned to Triple-A Toledo, Norris allowed only one run in seven innings Thursday, striking out seven with no walks.

August 6 in Tigers and mlb history:

1912: Inspired in part by the Ty Cobb suspension and the Tigers' brief strike in May, the formation of a "Players Fraternity" is announced, headed by attorney and former player Dave Fultz. Leading players include Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Mickey Doolan, and Jake Daubert. The goals are to oppose contract violations, rowdyism, and anything that may "impair a player's ability."

1938: Mickey Cochrane is fired as Detroit manager and is replaced with Del Baker.

1941 - Detroit P Al Benton collects two sacrifices in one inning, a major-league record.

1942 - An editorial in The Sporting News argues for segregation on the diamond. The column states that members of each race "prefer to draw their talents from their own ranks and both groups know their crowd psychology and do not care to run the risk of damaging their own game."

1947 - Can a pinch runner drive in a run? Skeeter Webb of the Tigers takes the paths for Fred Hutchinson against the Indians and scores. Detroit bats around, and Webb lifts a fly ball that scores a run in the 9-run 8th. Stubby Overmire wins 13 - 6, in the first of 2. Detroit sweeps, winning the nitecap 7 - 5 behind Hutchinson.

1951 - Lame duck Commissioner Happy Chandler testifies in front of the Senate committee, urging that baseball expand out of its eastern area. He adds that some owners see sport only as big business.

1952: The St. Louis Browns' Satchel Paige 46, beats Virgil Trucks 1 - 0 in 12 innings.

1962: Detroit?s Steve Boros homers three times in one game, but Tigers come up short against the indians 6 - 5.

1974: Norm Cash appears in his final game with the Tigers as a PH.
He hit 373 Homeruns w/1087 RBI + over 1000 Walks, + a 139 OPS+ as a Tiger.

1981: The players approve a split-season format necessitated by the seven-week strike. The Yankees, A's, Phillies and Dodgers are declared the first-half champions and will be automatically qualified for the 1981 Postseason.

1984 - The Tigers and Red Sox split, with Detroit outslugging Boston in the opener 9 - 7, and Boston replying 10 - 2. Aurelio Lopez (8-0) wins the first game in relief as Chet Lemon and Lance Parrish each hit homers and drive in three runs.

1985 - As announced three weeks ago, the Players Association keep their word and go on strike. The second mid-season work stoppage in history will last only two days.

2001: The Hall of Fame Veterans Committee, comprised of five former players, five media members and five former executives, which was established in 1953, is to be replaced by a 90-member group made up of the members of the Hall of Fame (61), the recipients of the J.G. Taylor Spink Award for writers (13), the Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasters (13) and current Veterans Committee members (3). The new committee will be able to elect players only once every two years and executives, umpires and managers only once every four years.

2012 - Pitching is the name of the game today. In Detroit, Justin Verlander racks up 13 strikeouts to beat the Yankees, 7 - 2, a career-best and the most in the American League this season.
