Lineup: Adam Frazier 2B, Gregory Polanco RF,Starling Marte CF, J-Bell 1B, Corey Dickerson LF, Fran Cervelli C, Colin Moran 3B,Jordy SS & Jameson Tailon P. Back to the A-Team; Clint said Jordy & Colin would have been benched last night for a rest day, but the rainout made it moot.
Pitchers: RHP Jameson Taillon (2-1, 2.86) will toe the slab v RHP Jordan Zimmerman (1-0, 7.71). Jamo's last couple of outings have been struggles as his control hasn't been there, so we'll see if he can get back on track tonight after beginning the year with a couple of ace-like performances. This will be his first outing against Motown. Zimmerman is following a lousy 2017 campaign with a lousier 2018 season; he was the starter in March when the Pirates whupped the Tigers by a 13-10 count, giving up four runs in six frames.

- Jose Osuna got the call as the Bucs' 26th man for the doubleheader. Jose is the extra dude for the second game only - the rules requires a doubleheader be scheduled 48 hours prior for the added player to be eligible for both games.
- The Bucs have lost four straight games and have dropped six of their last seven.
- The weather has been double-dipping the two clubs. This marks the second twin bill between the teams this season; the Bucs swept a day/night doubleheader in Detroit on April 1st, although officially and for ticketing purposes they were considered separate games.
- Joe Musgrove threw a 45-pitch sim game before the doubleheader. If he gets the OK after this outing, it's likely that he'll be a rehab game or two from joining the rotation in May.
- RHP Daniel Hudson was called up from AAA by the Dodgers after being moved by the Bucs and released by the Rays.
