James McCann getting the start at catcher for Detroit
Detroit Tigers catcher James McCann is in the lineup on Friday versus the Tampa Bay Rays.
McCann will be behind the plate while Alex Avila will handle first base as Miguel Cabrera is at DH in place of Victor Martinez. McCann is batting eighth against Erasmo Ramirez and the Rays.
With one of the lowest park factors of the night (.987) and a pitcher who doesn't give up many walks (4.5%), McCann and the rest of the Tigers are a risky play on Friday.
