Todd Jones ready to go

Jones came out of his second simulated game fine Wednesday. Barring something unforeseen, he'll be activated Friday at Seattle. He'll pitch an inning at some point in a non-save situation to get acclimated to game action again, then he'll be back in his closer's role, with Fernando Rodney pushed back to setup and Joel Zumaya working behind him. Considering the Tigers have had only one save situation since the first week of the season, it's not like anybody is acclimated to closing at the moment.
