Tigers' Francisco Liriano: Throws off mound

Liriano (back) will make his next scheduled start Monday against the Royals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Liriano exited with back tightness in his final start before the All-Star break July 15 against the Astros and wasn't placed on the disabled list. After taking several days to rest, he threw off a mound with no discomfort Friday, which was enough for the Tigers to clear him for his next start.
