DETROIT -- Jordan Zimmermann doesnt have much time left to recapture his early season magic. If he can, the Detroit Tigers rotation should be strong enough to finish off their playoff push.Zimmermann, signed away from the Washington Nationals as a free agent, went 5-0 with an 0.55 ERA in April and was named the American Leagues Pitcher of the Month. A minor groin injury forced him to miss a late May start and he was generally ineffective in June before he was sidelined with a neck strain.He returned for one August start, suffered a setback in that 1 2/3-inning outing, and went back on the 15-day disabled list. Following another lengthy rehab stint, Zimmermann returns. Hell start the second contest of a pivotal three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday.The Tigers tied the Orioles for the second wild-card spot with a 4-3 victory Friday.Its probably the worst feeling, knowing youve wasted two or three months and werent able to pitch and help this team, the veteran right-hander said Friday. This first couple of months were really good and probably better than I expected. The last two or three have been horrible, so hopefully I can turn it around for the last half a month and finish strong.Zimmermann (9-5), who expects to throw approximately 90 pitches if the start goes well, is getting thrust right into the heat of the pennant chase.I feel like Ive been around long enough that I can be thrown into a situation like this and be able to handle it, he said. Some other guys, they might not trust. I feel like Ive done enough in my career that they should be able to trust me and put me into this spot.Zimmermanns fastball reached only the low 90s in last rehab start, which didnt surprise him.Im not sure if my velocity will be back this year, said Zimmermann, who is 2/3 with a 4.54 ERA in six career starts against Baltimore. Ive had so many ups and downs, and its down just a tick right now. Hopefully, the more I get out there, the more its going to come back. But I feel strong, I feel like I can locate pretty good, so well see.Zimmermann will be opposed by Ubaldo Jiminez (6-11), who is coming off his best outing of the season. He tossed his first complete game since 2011 against Tampa Bay, holding the Rays to three runs on two hits in the 7-3 victory.It was fun to watch, said Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman, who is expected to come off the DL and start Sundays finale. He was pretty dialed in from the get go. He was able to command all his pitches. His stuff is good enough, he just has trouble commanding it sometimes. But from the get go, he established his fastball on both sides and everything played off of that.Jiminez is 5-11 with a 5.68 ERA in 20 starts against Detroit.The Orioles are in the thick of the race despite having the 11th-best ERA in the American League while issuing the most walks in the league.We kind of enjoy having people scratch their head about us, manager Buck Showalter said. We get it. In the clubhouse, everybody gets it. A lot of people that are just crunching the numbers dont get it. And Im OK with that. Authentic Custom Hurricanes Jersey .

DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins Pro Bowl center Mike Pouncey will miss the rest of the preseason with a left hip injury, and there also is concern if he will be available for the start of the regular season, head coach Adam Gase said Sunday.Pouncey was injured in the first half of last Fridays preseason loss against the Dallas Cowboys. However, Pouncey reentered the game and finished the first half. Pouncey did not practice on Sunday.I dont want to put a timetable on it, but there is a possibility, Gase said of Pouncey potentially missing the regular-season opener Sept. 11 against the Seattle Seahawks. If things change for us and we get some kind of diagnosis where they tell us theres a longer period of time than we originally thought, it could happen.Gase added that the team must take the next man up approach until it gets more clarity on Pouncey.ddddddddddddThe Dolphins have several replacement options at center. Backup Anthony Steen briefly replaced Pouncey in the second preseason game and could be the leader in the clubhouse. Jamil Douglas, a 2015 draft pick, is another option.Pouncey had offseason surgery on the right side of his hip during the offseason, which is opposite of this recent injury.Were going to be week-to-week right now, Gase said. Were still kind of feeling out whats going on. Were working with the doctors, trying to make sure when he comes back hes ready to go. So right now he obviously wont be playing in the Atlanta game. Most likely we wont see him the rest of the preseason. ' ' '
