What It Means:

Liriano tossed a simulated game on Tuesday, throwing 60 pitches, and reported no pain in his hamstring. He is expected to make only one rehab appearance and would be cleared to return to the Tigers' rotation later next week, barring any setbacks.

Liriano has tossed 57 2/3 innings this season with a 3.90 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and a 3-2 record while striking out 45 and walking 29.
