Reliever Marte has season-ending surgery.
DETROIT -- If the Tigers end up needing to call up more relief help, they won't have Luis Marte as an option, as the right-hander is out for the season after undergoing surgery to clean up his right shoulder.

The 26-year-old Marte spent parts of the last two seasons in Detroit and spent much of Spring Training in camp with the Tigers before returning to Triple-A Toledo. He pitched in just three April games for the Mud Hens, however, before being shut down.

After further examination, doctors recommended surgery to clean up debris around his right labrum rather than a more serious reconstruction. Dr. Koco Eaton performed the surgery last week in Florida.

Head athletic trainer Kevin Rand said that Marte will rehab for about three months before he begins a throwing program. That effectively takes him out of action for the rest of the Minor League season.

Miggy surprised by outpouring of All-Star love.
DETROIT -- Miguel Cabrera is a big enough star that he was recognized by reporters during Game 7 of the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals on his off-day back home in Miami. Still, even he is surprised by the outpouring of votes for him in All-Star Game balloting.
"That's great," Cabrera said. " Keep voting."
That said, he's trying to keep his focus on Tigers games for now. It's similar to the way he's handling Triple Crown talk these days.
"If we win 95, 98 games, that's great to me," he said.
Cabrera leads all American League players with more than 1.5 million votes, twice as much as his nearest competitor at third base.
Fans can cast their votes for starters at MLB.com and all 30 club sites -- online or via a mobile device -- using the 2013 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot until Thursday, July 4, at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Full text of Jhonny Peralta's comments to media after Tuesday's game:
Reporter: ?We have a tough job.?
Peralta: ?I know.?

(Q: Any comment on ESPN report?)
"I don?t have no comment for that right now. I?m play(ing) baseball right now, and that?s my focus, to play right now.

(Q: Did someone explain to you what had been reported?)
"I don?t really try to pay attention to what they say right now. I try to play this game."

June 5 in Tigers and mlb history:

1949 - Commissioner Happy Chandler lifts the ban on all players who jumped to the Mexican League, starting in 1946. Only Sal Maglie will make a significant mark after the exile. Lou Klein will be the first jumper to make a major-league box score, successfully pinch-hitting on June 16.

1954 - Boston Red Sox outfielder Ted Williams catches pneumonia, sidelining him for three weeks.

1958 - At Yankee Stadium, New York routs White Sox starter Early Wynn for a 12 - 5 victory. In the 3rd inning, Mickey Mantle legs out his third inside-the-park home run in a month.

1963 - At Baltimore's Memorial Stadium, Mickey Mantle fractures a bone in his left foot and suffers ligament and cartilage damage to the left knee running into the chain link fence chasing down a Brooks Robinson drive. Mantle will be out for 61 games.

1997 - With the first overall selection in the amateur draft, the Tigers select pitcher Matt Anderson out of Rice University. It’s the first overall #1 pick the Tigers have ever had in the June draft. Armed with a 100-MPH fastball, Anderson will be in the Detroit bullpen the next year.
