Blackmon is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder is hitting .225/.311/.350 with one home run in 40 at-bats. His absence could be related to the Tigers starting lefty Tarik Skubal. Randal Grichuk is starting in right field while Yonathan Daza enters the lineup in center field.
