The big key for the playoff roster's composition — the availability of Rajai Davis, after last week's weird pelvic injury — was still in question, even after the Tigers released their 25-man list Thursday morning. There was a possibility that they were carrying Davis, hoping that he'd be ready in a few days.

When the lineup for Game 1 came out, though, he was in it.
