DETROIT -- Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias was given the day off Sunday as he grieves the loss of his friend and fellow Cuban, Jose Fernandez.

The Miami Marlins pitcher was killed along with two others in a boating accident in Miami Beach, Fla., Sunday morning.

Andrew Romine will play at shortstop against the Kansas City Royals in the new lineup that was posted after Iglesias was scratched.

The Tigers (83-71) play the Royals (78-77) Sunday in the rubber match of a three-game series. The Tigers are a half-game behind the Baltimore Orioles for the final American League wild card spot.
