Arrives at camp Rodriguez arrived to the Tigers' spring training facility in Florida on Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact The 29-year-old signed with Detroit as a non-roster invitee in January but was a week late to camp due to some visa issues. Rodriguez struggled in Japan during 2020 and last played affiliated baseball in 2019 with a .321/.363/.634 slash line at the Triple-A level.

Clear of visa concerns Moreno arrived to the Tigers' spring training facility in Florida on Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact The 25-year-old was unable to report last week due to visa issues, but he's now ready to take the field for Detroit. Moreno has thrown only 23.2 innings since the start of 2018 and is likely to open 2021 in the minors.

Will get early look Krol (suspension) is expected to pitch in one of the Tigers' first few Grapefruit League games, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Tigers kick off their spring training schedule with games Sunday and Monday, and it's expected that Krol will get a look right away as he attempts to return to the majors. The lefty last pitched at the MLB level in 2018 with the Angels and he's set to serve a 50-game suspension for a second positive test for a drug abuse in 2019. He also pitched for Detroit in 2014 and 2015, compiling a 5.34 ERA in 78 games out of the bullpen.

To start Monday Fulmer will start Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact Fulmer will be making his first spring training start since 2019, as he was still recovering from Tommy John surgery this time last year. The Tigers handled the 27-year-old very cautiously in his return from the surgery, but perhaps he's allowed to take on an increased workload in 2021.

Will start first spring game Alexander will start for the Tigers in their first Grapefruit League game Sunday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact Alexander is one of a handful of pitchers competing for a spot in the back of Detroit's rotation. The lefty made headlines last year when he set a MLB record with nine consecutive strikeouts in a game, and he finished the year with a solid 3.96 ERA across 14 games (two starts). The Tigers may continue to use him in more of a swing role, but Alexander is capable of decent numbers if he gets an extended look in the rotation.

Competing for utility role Garcia is competing for a utility spot on Detroit's roster out of spring training, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact Garcia joined the Tigers earlier this month and will compete with the likes of Harold Castro and Akil Baddoo for a bench job. Working in Garcia's favor is his ability to play multiple positions in the infield, though the 31-year-old only slashed .200/.279/.250 across 30 games last season, so he may need to get hot at the plate this spring to earn a roster spot.

Impact The No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 first-year player draft required stitches to seal the wound, which Hinch described as "very mild." The injury doesn't appear to be anything that will jeopardize Torkelson's availability for the start of the minor-league season, but those hoping to get a glimpse of the power-hitting corner infielder in his first professional game action may have to wait until late next week.

Candidate to lead off Castro is a candidate to bat leadoff this season, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Impact Castro batted .349 with a .381 on-base percentage during the shortened 2020 campaign, though his success was fueled by an atypically high .448 BABIP. The team might not put the pressure of leading off onto the 23-year-old's shoulders right out of the gate, and veteran Robbie Grossman is an option for the top spot to start the regular season. However, a hot start by Castro could force manager A.J. Hinch's hand.
