CHICAGO -- Detroit Tigers right-hander Jordan Zimmermann has been activated from the disabled list and is scheduled to start Saturday against the Baltimore Orioles.Zimmermann left Washington as a free agent and signed a $110 million, five-year deal with the Tigers during the offseason. He was 5-0 with a 0.55 ERA after five April starts but has struggled since and gone on the DL twice because of neck pain.Zimmermann gave up two home runs in a rehab start for Triple-A Toledo on Monday, throwing 80 pitches.Im pain free, Zimmermann said Tuesday. I feel great and the ball is coming out good. I have pretty good command of the off-speed pitches, so its way, way better than when I was rehabbing the first time and tried coming back. I feel as strong or if not stronger than I did in April. Im excited to get back out there.He said he threw his fastball from 90-93 mph, attributing a drop in velocity to the neck strain earlier this year.Zimmermann, 9-5 with a 4.44 ERA in 16 starts, allowed six runs and six hits while getting five outs in his last start with Detroit on Aug. 4. He also had a poor June before being sidelined the first time.As long as Im feeling good and I can locate, I can pitch at 90-91 no problem, Zimmermann said. When I was rehabbing the first time I was 90-91 and couldnt locate. Thats a recipe for disaster. If I can locate, I have enough off-speed pitches to get these guys off-balance and I should be fine.Manager Brad Ausmus said right-hander Michael Fulmer will start against Baltimore on Friday and ace Justin Verlander on Sunday at Comerica Park.Detroit won 11 of 14 entering Tuesday, moving into a tie with the Orioles for the second AL wild card.Were playing good ball right now, Zimmerman said. If I can get back in there and help them win some ballgames down the stretch here, thats really what I want to do. Gordon Hayward Celtics Jersey .

Helmut Marko, the man who guided Sebastian Vettel through the Red Bull driver programme, said his former protégés radio meltdown in Mexico was unworthy of a four-time world champion.Vettel, who won those titles at Red Bull before switching to Ferrari, found himself behind Markos latest wonderkid, Max Verstappen, in the closing stages of the Mexican Grand Prix. Verstappen ran wide with three laps to go but held third position, refusing to yield to an irate Vettel.The laps spent behind Verstappen then backed Vettel into Daniel Ricciardo in the other Red Bull. Ricciardo made contact with Vettel on the penultimate lap after a late lunge down the inside.After the race, Vettel told FIA race director Charlie Whiting to f--k ooff on two occasions, something Marko thinks was unacceptable for the grids most decorated driver.ddddddddddddThe situation is unworthy of a four-time world champion, Marko told Sky Sports after the race. His choice of words certainly wasnt first class.Though Verstappen crossed the line in third, Whiting and the stewards soon issued a five-second penalty which dropped the 19-year-old behind Vettel and Ricciardo into fifth. Marko says Red Bull do not understand why Verstappen was penalised.We support him. The decision is not understandable. They use different standards and this is not okay. ' ' '
