Zimmerman resisted "pointing a finger at three guys," but agreed that he's part of a trio that could quickly pitch the Tigers back into contention.
It had been 23 years since the Tigers' last no-hitter when Justin Verlander took the mound at Comerica Park on June 12, 2007.
The Tigers continue to hold their breath regarding the health of Justin Verlander, but Thursday offered reason for optimism.
Out of these three players listed, who is the most likely to be dealt?
There's no hotter hitter in baseball right now than Alex Avila.
"I gotta cut down on walks, that's the main thing," he told reporters afterward.
When the Lions selected Jarrad Davis in the first round of last week's NFL Draft, Verlander welcomed Davis to town via Twitter.
Ben Gamel had an RBI single in the ninth inning to help the Seattle Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers 2-1 on Thursday.
Given the complexity of the signs the Tigers used on Friday night, even with nobody on base, McCann felt sign-stealing was too simple of an explanation for the Indians' success.
What did Verlander say?
Justin Verlander and Chris Sale dominated in a matchup of ace pitchers before Nicholas Castellanos singled in the go-ahead run off Sale in the eighth inning, lifting the Detroit Tigers over the Boston Red Sox 2-1 on Monday.
It's been a soggy start to the season for the Tigers.
Justin Verlander struck out 10 to match the most by a Detroit pitcher on opening day since Mickey Lolich in 1970, and the Tigers backed him with three home runs in a 6-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday.
The team announced the rest of it starting pitching rotation after its final Spring Training game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday.
If there is a lesson to learn here, it's don't try going after Verlander on social media if you don't want to be called out.
Of the various pitchers who have struggled this spring, very few of them will play a big role when the real games begin next month.
I think Kate has the more memorable covers.
The beauty of spring training baseball is that you can't really lose. You can only get better.
Which car would you have chosen?
A lucky dog and a boxer showed up on Kate Upton's Instagram account Sunday.
Justin Verlander, a longtime advocate of creating more rigorous P.E.D.-testing in MLB, is more than willing to walk the walk.
Upton went on to say it's a "kind of a buzzkill for me."
When Justin Verlander gave up a home run to his younger brother Ben during Spring Training last year, the Tigers ace knew he'd have a hard time living it down.
