In this story:

As the Angels play the series finale against the Tigers, they'll do so without Sunday's scheduled starting pitcher. LHP Reid Detmers was scratched just a few hours before first pitch, leaving manager Phil Nevin scrambling for a game plan for the matinee game. 

RHP Jimmy Herget gets the ball to open the game for the Halos and Kenny Rosenberg is expected to take down bulk innings today.

Detmers was scratched due to illness.

It's another minor setback in a season of massive setbacks for the Halos. Star DH/ace Shohei Ohtani is done for the year after suffering an oblique injury that wasn't getting better. He also suffered an elbow injury that ended his season as a pitcher back in August. Mike Trout has been out for the better part of three months and high-paid veteran Anthony Rendon has played in just 43 games.

With Saturday night's loss to Detriot, the club was officially eliminated from playoff contention this season.
