Boyd and the Tigers won't play Sunday against the Giants after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Following a lengthy rain delay, Sunday's matchup was officially called off five hours after the scheduled first pitch. Boyd played catch after the game was officially postponed, but the Tigers haven't yet revealed their updated pitching plans for the upcoming series against the Guardians.

Lopez (1-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk over six innings against the Yankees. He struck out seven.

Lopez pitched well Sunday, logging his third straight quality start while scattering seven hits. However, DJ LeMahieu's two RBI were enough to hand Lopez the loss, as the Twins' offense couldn't solve a dominant Gerrit Cole. Overall, Lopez has pitched quite well in his first four starts with Minnesota, recording a 1.73 ERA with a 33:6 K:BB through 26 innings.

Cole (4-0) earned the win Sunday, throwing a complete-game shutout, allowing two hits and one walk over nine innings against the Twins. He struck out 10.

Cole was dominant Sunday, allowing just two hits (both singles) and one walk while punching out 10. Cole has won his first four starts of the season and lowered his ERA to 0.95 through a league-leading 28.1 innings. He's recorded a 32:8 K:BB with a stellar 0.74 WHIP.

Severino (lat) completed a bullpen session Sunday with no issues, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Severino recently progressed to mound work and has now thrown three bullpen sessions in the past week. The right-hander should soon progress to facing live hitters, which should be his final step before heading out on a rehab assignment.

McCullers (forearm) threw long toss Sunday and could begin throwing off a mound before the end of April, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander has been throwing mostly fastballs but is also close to integrating his offspeed pitches. McCullers doesn't have a clear timetable to be activated from the injured list, but his return to mound work will be a significant step in his rehab progress.

Manoah (1-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and four walks over 4.2 innings during a 8-1 loss to the Rays. He struck out five.

Manoah walked two, hit a batter and served up a single to start the game and was ultimately tagged for three runs in the first inning. He was able to settle down after the shaky start and posted three scoreless frames before getting into trouble again in the fifth. After striking out the first two hitters of the inning, Manoah allowed five consecutive batters to reach, including a three-run homer by Christian Bethancourt, before getting pulled in favor of Zach Pop. Manoah currently sports a 6.98 ERA and has a questionable 16:15 K:BB. He has just one quality start through four starts this season.

McClanahan (4-0) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over six innings during a 8-1 victory over the Blue Jays. He struck out six.

McClanahan was spotted a three-run lead to start the game, but he allowed the first three batters to reach in the bottom of the first, including an RBI single by Vladimir Guerrero. However, the left-hander got out of the inning by retiring the next three hitters and then cruised through five scoreless frames. McClanahan has four wins in as many tries and currently sports a 1.57 ERA with a 27:11 K:BB through 23 innings.

Prielipp is on the 7-day injured list at High-A Cedar Rapids while the team evaluates his surgically repaired left elbow, sportswriter Jeff Johnson reports.

The 48th overall pick in last year's draft, Prielipp made his first pro start April 8, giving up three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three in four innings. He had Tommy John surgery in 2021 and threw only 28 innings during his time at Alabama.

Detmers (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over 6.1 innings during a 2-1 loss to Boston. He struck out seven.

Aside from a go-ahead, two-run homer from Justin Turner in the third, Detmers was sharp and struck out at least seven for the second time over his first three starts. However, he couldn't get ample run support and suffered his first loss of the season. Though three outings (16 innings), Detmers has allowed eight earned runs, including two homers, but he has a solid 19:6 K:BB. The left-hander's next start is tentatively scheduled during the Angels' upcoming three-game set versus the Royals.

Whitlock (1-1) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over seven innings in a 2-1 win over the Angels. He struck out five.

Whitlock's lone blemish came in the second inning on a leadoff double by Anthony Rendon and a two-out, RBI single by Brandon Drury. Aside from that, the young right-hander was superb through seven innings and earned his first win of the season. Whitlock was knocked around in his season debut, but he got back on track Sunday and will look to build off his strong performance during his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for the finale of a three-game set in Baltimore.
