Look for Castellanos to rebound at plate.
Third baseman's 49 percent hard-hit rate well above MLB average.
Tigers official site

Long and informative read.

Based on the expected outcomes of how hard he hits the ball and how often he makes contact with it (we'll explain in a second), the skill he has shown at the plate puts him in the top 15 percent of all hitters with at least 100 times to the plate.

In another, far more real sense, Castellanos has struggled badly. He's hitting just .230/.309/.396, a line that's 10 percentage points below league average, one that doesn't crack the Top 200 of all hitters with at least 100 times to the plate.

Most outs on batted balls with a 50 percent or higher Hit Probability in 2016
24 -- Nicholas Castellanos, Tigers
23 -- Robinson Cano, Mariners
23 -- Kyle Seager, Mariners
23 -- Jose Abreu, White Sox
23 -- DJ LeMahieu, Rockies

Castellanos had had 24 of his 160 batted balls (15 percent) turn into outs on balls that should have been a hit more than 50 percent of the time.

June 10 in Tigers and mlb history:

1903: Detroit SS Kid Elberfeld? suspended for abusing an umpire? is traded to the New York Highlanders for veteran infielders Herman Long? 37? and Ernie Courtney. The Highlanders' first trade is a good one as "The Tabasco Kid"? currently hitting .341? will be a key ingredient in New York's rise as contenders in 1904. Elberfeld had also been accused by Tiger manager Ed Barrow of deliberately throwing games recently as a ploy to get himself traded.

1905: Andy Bruckmiller sent from Braddock (Ohio-Pennsylvania) to the Detroit Tigers.

1921: Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees becomes the major leagues' career home run leader by hitting his 120th off Cleveland Indians pitcher Jim Bagby in the 3rd inning. The Indians win, 8 - 6. Roger Connor held the record until that time.

1937: The Detroit Tigers purchased Cliff Bolton from the Washington Senators.

1945: The Detroit Tigers signed Paul Hinrichs as an amateur free agent.

1957: Frank Lary gives up a 3rd-inning homer to Mickey Mantle in Detroit? but still beats the Yankees? 9 - 4. Mantle now leads the American League with 15 homers. Tigers homerun hitters for the day include Harvey Kuenn, 2 from Charlie Maxwell, and Al Kaline.

1958: The Tigers fire manager Jack Tighe after a 21 and 28 start to the season? replacing him with Bill Norman.

1974: The Detroit Tigers signed Tim Corcoran as an amateur free agent.

1976: The Detroit Tigers purchased Milt Wilcox from the Chicago Cubs.
1976: The Milwaukee Brewers traded Pedro Garcia to the Detroit Tigers for Gary Sutherland.

1980: The Detroit Tigers traded Dan Gonzales and Ed Putman to the Baltimore Orioles for Billy Presley (minors), Larry Anderson and Larry Johnson.

1984: The Detroit Tigers purchased Sid Monge from the San Diego Padres.

1984: At Baltimore, the Tigers sweep two from the Orioles? winning 10 - 4 and 8 - 0? before 51?764 fans. Kirk Gibson has six hits and six RBIs in the two games? while Alan Trammell and Howard Johnson each have 5 hits. Lou Whitaker scores 5 runs in game 1. Reliever Doug Bair wins the opener and Dan Petry allows just 3 hits in the nitecap win. The Tigers record now is at 43 and 14, as they continue to steamroll through the league on their way to an historic season.

1999: The Detroit Tigers signed Pat Lennon as a free agent.

2003: The Detroit Tigers signed Pat Lennon as a free agent.

2008: The Detroit Tigers signed Brian Rogers as a free agent.

Chris Sale and Justin Verlander meet for the 6th today. Sale is 0-2 with 3 no-decisions in the previous 5 meetings, all Tigers wins.
If he fails to win today, he'll be the only active pitcher with no wins in 6 head-to-head meetings with a current active pitcher according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

DOES VERLANDER HAVE SALE'S NUMBER?
Justin Verlander and Chris Sale have both pitched well against each other, but Verlander has come out on top every time.
Entering Saturday's duel, Sale is clearly in better form, sporting a 2.89 ERA and 0.93 WHIP this season to Verlander's 4.63 ERA and 1.46 WHIP.

Chained to the game: professional baseball and the reserve clause, part one.
BeyondTheBoxscore

Professional baseball was predicated on the full control of players by owners. The first 15 years of this relationship established the foundation for the following 85 years of conflict.

Chained to the game: professional baseball and the reserve clause, part two.
BeyondTheBoxscore

The war between owner and player was largely relegated to the courts in the twentieth century. But it was not old men in robes who finally handed the players a long-deserved victory.
