The Detroit Tigers will be without two starters as they face James Paxton in his first game since throwing a no-hitter.
Right fielder Nicholas Castellanos left Saturday's game after being hit in the hand by a pitch. Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said Castellanos was still sore on Sunday.
Jeimer Candelario continues to be bothered by a wrist injury that has flared up at various times this year. He's getting a day off but could be available to pinch-hit Sunday depending on how he feels.

Niko Goodrum, who was out with a minor hip injury on Saturday, said he's feeling better and will play right field today.
Utility infielder Pete Kozma will start at third base.

Surgery would be last option for Jeimer Candelario?s ailing wrist.
Detnews

?No, it?s not an easy (surgery). Hamate (a carpal bone) is probably the easiest surgery we have associated with baseball, where you literally open him up, take it out and three or four weeks later they?re playing. It?s not that kind of surgery. This is deep in the wrist. It?s a ligament we?re dealing with.
It?s the Triangle Fibrocartilage (Complex). It?s called the TFCC ligament and it?s what helps stabilize these two bones (in the wrist) together.?

According to www.houstonmethodist.org, ?The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) suspends the ends of the radius and ulna bones over the wrist. It is triangular in shape and made up of several ligaments and cartilage. The TFCC makes it possible for the wrist to move in six different directions (bending, straightening, twisting, side-to-side).?
Teter said it?s not a career-threatening injury. But it?s also not an easy one to rehab.

?Best case scenario, if you get through the year with it and be productive, sure, you?d want to do (surgery) in the winter,? Teter said. ?But there?s no guarantees it?d be ready by spring training.?

Teter said wrist strengthening is part of the Tigers? base strength and conditioning program that Candelario has already been doing.
