The Tigers will have Max Clark in center field and 2025 first rounder Jordan Yost at shortstop in the starting lineup, with Bryce Rainer in the DH slot and hard-throwing relief prospect Marco Jimenez starting things off on the mound.
We should see Michael Oliveto at some point as well. Griffin, baseball’s consensus number one ranked prospect, will handle shortstop for the Bucs, with a good pitching prospect on the mound as the starter in RHP Seth Hernandez. Manager Alan Trammell has managed the last two breakout games for the Tigers, winning them both.
First pitch is set for 7:35 p. m. ET on Peacock, MLB.
