TIGERS' BULLPEN REMAINS A PROBLEM.
It's not as bad as it's been in recent years, but Detroit's relief corps is still an uninspiring group. Bruce Rondon could be the key if the team makes the playoffs.

No Kinsler or Victor Martinez in Tigers lineup vs. twins.

Kinsler feeling better, but "still a little groggy, a little foggy".

Victor Martinez's right knee swelled up after game Sunday, Ausmus said.
Victor was hit by Trevor Bauer pitch Sunday at Cleveland.
 
Kinsler is in concussion protocol, head athletic trainer Kevin Rand said.
He rode exercise bike today but still felt some lingering issues.

Nick Castellanos faced live pitching yesterday, still felt issues with fractured left hand on swings. He's back to batting practice for now.
Castellanos will keep working out in Lakeland. Still, Ausmus said his return this season is "getting more unlikely with each passing day".

Kinsler wasn't the only still limited after getting hit by Bauer on Sunday.

Designated hitter Victor Martinez is out with a purple, swollen knee.

Rand said he was hit just above the kneecap. They won't drain fluid, but will just wait for the swelling to go down. Martinez was in the clubhouse receiving treatment on Tuesday.

As with Kinsler, it's unknown how much time he will miss.
