Ross (back) is listed as the TIgers' scheduled starter for Friday's game against the Twins, Field Level Media reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heading into the week, Ross had been in line to start in Thursday's series finale against the Angels, but those plans were scrapped when he developed back stiffness. An extra day to rest up was apparently all Ross needed to overcome the issue, so he'll be plugged back into the Tigers' pitching schedule for the start of a four-game set in Minnesota. He'll oppose Jake Odorizzi in the series opener.

Ross has been battling a stiff back, so his next start will be pushed to Friday against the Twins, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

In an effort to give him an extra day of rest, the Tigers have moved Ross's outing from Thursday to Friday. Ryan Carpenter is expected to be called up from Triple-A Toledo and toe the rubber Thursday.

Ross (1-4) took the loss against the Royals on Saturday by giving up five runs on seven hits over 1.1 innings. He struck out one and walked two.

EDGE Analysis

Ross faced only 13 batters but managed to give up four extra-base hits as he was unable to get through the second inning. It's the first time in six starts this season the right-hander hasn't completed five innings. The 32-year-old has a 5.34 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 23:14 K:BB across 30.1 innings to begin the year, and lines up to pitch Thursday versus the Angels.

Ross is slated to start Saturday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Ross rejoined the team Friday after spending the full three days on the paternity list following the birth of his child. Due to a pair of off days this week, the Tigers weren't forced to add a spot starter to the mix in Ross' stead. Detroit won't require a replacement in the rotation for the injured Jordan Zimmermann (elbow) until the May 11 doubleheader in Minnesota.

Ross was reinstated from the paternity list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Ross was unable to make his scheduled start Tuesday as he left the team to attend the birth of his child. The 32-year-old has a 4.03 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 22:12 K:BB over his first five starts and figures to return to the starting rotation this weekend against the Royals.

Ross won't make his scheduled start Tuesday against the Phillies after the Tigers placed him on the paternity list.

EDGE Analysis

Detroit oddly chose to move Ross ahead of Spencer Turnbull in the pitching schedule to begin the week, and the fact that the former was awaiting the birth of his child now seems to provide an explanation behind that decision. The change ultimately didn't come to pass, as Ross will now be unavailable for the next three days while Turnbull will take the hill Tuesday and line up for his second start of the week Sunday versus the Royals. Ross is slated to rejoin the Tigers on Friday and could start that same day in the team's series opener with Kansas City.

Ross (1-3) allowed four runs on seven hits across five innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Red Sox. He walked three and struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

After starting the season by allowing just four runs (three earned) over his first 12 innings of work, Ross has now allowed 13 runs (10 earned) across his last 17 innings. The veteran righty has seen his ERA creep up to 4.03 in the process, and he will have another tough test in his next outing, which is scheduled for Tuesday on the road against the Phillies.

Ross allowed five runs (two earned) on seven hits with two strikeouts and no walks across six innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers defense was extremely shaky, committing four errors Thursday, including three in the fifth inning. That cost Ross the opportunity to capture the win. The Tigers have already yielded four unearned runs in four Ross starts. Overall, he is 1-2 with a 3.38 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 17 strikeouts in 24 innings. His next scheduled start is on the road against the Red Sox on Tuesday.

Ross (1-2) allowed four earned runs on five hits and four walks to take the loss Saturday against the Twins. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

This was the second time in three starts this year that Ross has walked four batters, and he took the loss in each of those outings. On a more positive note, he's gone at least six innings in two straight starts, and he has a solid 3.50 ERA to begin the season. Ross will look to limit the free passes and get back in the win column his next time out, which is scheduled for Thursday against the White Sox.

Ross (1-1) earned the victory after allowing one run on five hits and a walk while striking out eight over seven innings Sunday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Ross surrendered the first run of the ballgame in the first inning, but he managed to settle down and finished his outing with six consecutive scoreless frames. The 31-year-old right-hander was handed a tough loss in his first start of 2019 (two earned runs over five innings), but he was able to break into the win column following a stellar performance in the series finale. Ross's next start lines up for Friday against Minnesota.
