LAKELAND, Fla. - Justin Duchscherer arrived at the Ed Smith Stadium complex as I was heading to my car for the drive to Lakeland.
Duchscherer said he's having a "light day" today. Sounds like he might play catch and receive more treatment on his left hip.
Duchscherer hopes to throw live batting practice tomorrow. He threw off the half mound and regular mound yesterday. Assuming he makes it through the session without any glitches, he could appear in his first game early next week.
Here's the Tigers lineup:
Ramon Santiago SS
Andy Dirks RF
Ryan Raburn LF
Brennan Boesch DH
Don Kelly 3B
Ryan Strieby 1B
Alex Avila C
Scott Sizemore 2B
Casper Wells CF
Rick Porcello RHP
