Manager A.J. Hinch indicated after Wednesday's game that Valbuena (hamstring) appears doubtful for Friday's series opener against the Tigers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Valbuena tweaked his hamstring in Tuesday's contest against the Yankees, but the team hopes he can avoid a stint on the disabled list. If he indeed misses the game, Alex Bregman could be in line for another start at the hot corner.
