Isbel will start in right field and bat eighth Friday against the Tigers, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

EDGE Analysis

Isbel has homered in back-to-back games -- his first two home runs of the season -- and will be rewarded with another start in the series opener in Detroit. He's still batting just .223/.250/.340 for the season, however. Isbel will need to keep it up to fend off Edward Olivares for playing time in the outfield.
