6 years agoDetroit Tigers starting pitcher Francisco Liriano made an appearance out of the bullpen on Sunday, tossing two innings of scoreless relief against the Indians. Liriano was called upon after Jordan Zimmermann lasted just the first three innings, and was available because Blaine Hardy had taken Liriano's spot in the rotation on Saturday as Liriano was under the weather. He was apparently healthy enough to work on Sunday, but don't read too much into this bullpen appearance. Liriano should be back in the starting rotation the next time through, and Hardy will be back to the bullpen.--Tyler Germain - RotoBaller
