Farmer will start the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the White Sox, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
The Tigers flipped the order of Friday's starters and will instead have Farmer start things off in Game 1 while bumping Matt Boyd back to the nightcap. This will mark Farmer's first big league action of 2017. In nine starts at Triple-A Toledo this season, Farmer owns a 4.12 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP to go with 54 strikeouts and 10 walks in 54.2 innings. The Tigers will officially add Farmer to the roster early Friday in all likelihood.
