DETROIT -- While the Tigers wait to see which player will represent them on July 9 at the MLB All-Star Game in Cleveland, they’ll have a heavy presence at the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game at Progressive Field two days earlier. Right-hander Matt Manning, catcher Jake Rogers and infielder Isaac Paredes will rep the Old English D as part of MLB’s showcase of the game’s next group of potential stars.

The Tigers are one of five organizations with three players in the showcase event, joining the Rays, Mariners, Padres and Marlins. It marks the first time Detroit has put three players in the Futures Game since 2012, when Nicholas Castellanos, Bruce Rondon and Rob Brantly made it. Brantly was inactive for the game due to injury.

For Manning, Detroit’s No. 2 prospect and No. 32 overall, according to MLB Pipeline, the selection is a repeat honor. The Double-A Erie standout tossed 1 1/3 innings in last year’s game, allowing two runs on four hits with two strikeouts. He holds a 6-4 record and 2.60 ERA with the SeaWolves this season while leading Eastern League pitchers with 102 strikeouts over 86 2/3 innings.

If Manning stays on turn and makes his next start on Tuesday, the Futures Game would fall on his natural start day, giving him an opportunity to play a big part in what is now a seven-inning game pitting American League prospects against their National League counterparts.

“I think this farm system is loaded with players, and I think the development staff's done a great job. It speaks for itself,” Manning said.

Paredes, the Tigers’ top-ranked position player (No. 4) and No. 83 overall, gets the nod during a season that has seen his power drop but his plate discipline and contact rate solidify. The 20-year-old slugger, the prize prospect from the Cubs in the Justin Wilson-Alex Avila trade two years ago, has been one of the best hitters in the Minor Leagues for contact rate on pitches in the strike zone, and entered Friday with nearly as many walks (32) as strikeouts (35).

While Manning and Paredes were highly rated prospects coming into the season, the surprise was Rogers, the Tigers’ No. 12 prospect. While the 24-year-old has been a defensive standout behind the plate since his arrival from the Astros in the Justin Verlander trade, he began the season at Double-A Erie for a second consecutive season to work on his swing. He earned a promotion to Toledo by batting .302 with five homers, 21 RBIs and a .963 OPS in 28 games, then hit seven home runs for the Mud Hens. Meanwhile, he has thrown out 20 of 37 would-be basestealers.

MLB Network will exclusively televise and MLB.com will livestream the Futures Game at 7 p.m. ET. Greg Amsinger, Harold Reynolds and Jim Callis will call the action, with Heidi Watney providing reporting from both dugouts. The game also will be available to SiriusXM subscribers.

Turnbull placed on injured list

Friday brought no worse news on Spencer Turnbull’s shoulder, but the Tigers are concerned enough about the fatigue that they’re giving him a break until at least the season’s second half. The rookie right-hander was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday before the Tigers’ 3-1 loss to the Nationals after he left his start Thursday after two innings with a tired arm.

“He came in feeling fine, but we’re not going to risk anything here with his arm,” Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said.

The reasoning for the decision was two-fold: First, Turnbull has a history of shoulder issues, from a rotator cuff strain that sidelined him for a month around this same time last year to a right shoulder strain that kept him out for most of the 2016 season.

Second, the IL stint allows the Tigers to regulate Turnbull’s innings before the stretch run. Even after Thursday’s early exit, he’s at 89 2/3 innings through 17 starts. He threw 135 2/3 innings last year between Detroit and the Minor Leagues, and the Tigers don’t want him to go too far beyond that this season.

“We’re going to give him time here,” Gardenhire said. “This way, he’ll have until after the All-Star break before he’ll make his next start.”

Turnbull will stay with the team and do some light tossing and side sessions with pitching coach Rick Anderson until the All-Star break.

While the decision makes sense in the long term, it puts the Tigers in a pitching bind until the break. Turnbull is the fifth Tigers starter to land on the IL this season, not including potential fill-in options Kyle Funkhouser and Beau Burrows at Triple-A Toledo.

Detroit already needed a fifth starter for Saturday’s game and an extra starter for Wednesday’s doubleheader against the White Sox in Chicago. Now, they’ll need another starter for Turnbull’s spot, which also comes up Wednesday.

The Tigers will call up left-hander Gregory Soto for Saturday’s start. Another option would have been to put Drew VerHagen back on the roster. VerHagen was outrighted to Toledo in May but stayed in the organization when he was given a chance to start for the Mud Hens rather than continue in a relief role.
