Tigers Roster Shuffle

Tigers optioned right-hander Ty Madden to Triple-A Toledo to free a roster spot.
The upcoming rotation will be Tarik Skubal, Casey Mize, Framber Valdez, Keider Montero and Troy Melton.
Justin Verlander threw a bullpen session Saturday, leaving Detroit undecided on a simulated start or another minor-league rehab outing and making his activation for Tuesday’s start against the Houston Astros unlikely, though a final decision remains unconfirmed.
