Leading up to the game, the Tigers made an announcement on relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan that reads like a promising sign heading into Monday night's game and the rest of the 2025 MLB season. The Astros lead the season series against Detroit 2-1 so far this season after falling to Detroit in the Wild Card round of the 2024 MLB Playoffs.
