Detroit ― In the home clubhouse Monday morning, shortly after Justyn-Henry Malloy arrived back at Comerica Park for the first time since early July, he exchanged smiles and some friendly banter with Jahmai Jones.

It remains to be seen how playing time will shake out down the stretch in the regular season and, most importantly, who earns a spot on the playoff roster.
