Faedo will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher during Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Faedo is expected to handle one or two innings before turning the game over to bulk reliever Bryan Sammons. Though Faedo has allowed just one run in 3.2 innings during August, he's walked eight batters in that span. He has a 3.72 ERA over 55.2 innings on the season.
