Fielder back in Derby, but what about Cabrera?
from JasonBeck'sTigersblog

This is the same back issue that led manager Jim Leyland to rest Cabrera on Thursday. When Cabrera returned to action on Friday, Leyland said he wasn?t at 100 percent. Cabrera said AL captain Robinson Cano asked him a week ago, so his back issue dates back at least that long.
 
The Tigers have 74 games left, 46 against Central Division opponents: White Sox 19, Royals 14, Indians 7, Twins 6.
 
Drew Smyly has the same number of strikeouts (55) as Jeremy Guthrie...in 60 less innings.

MLB says Yoenis Cespedes has been named as the final participant in the Home Run Derby. That means no Miguel Cabrera.
Miggy said he was waiting to see if his back would be OK to go for the HR Derby. I would say Cespedes being in would answer that question.

Tigers might have a middle infield problem if Infante is out for a couple months and Peralta gets suspended.
 
Road trip success a 'good tonic' for Tigers.
DETROIT -- With a 7-4 record on the 11-game road trip, the Tigers are back to a .500 record (23-23) away from Comerica Park.

"I'm very happy with this trip to be honest with you, very satisfied," manager Jim Leyland said. "We had just come off a bad series at home, and going to three tough places, I thought it turned out pretty good."

After dropping three of the first four games on the trip, the Tigers battled back from a four-run deficit on their way to winning five straight games.

"The reason we had a good trip is because everybody at one time or another did something, including the [Ramon] Santiagos and the [Don] Kellys and the guys who filled in. It was a good trip for those guys.

"That's the best tonic there is. That's what I was just saying earlier, on this road trip, a lot of guys made contributions, and some of the little guys that don't get a chance to play much. That's always good tonic for your team."

Despite Sunday's loss, Leyland was happy with the way the team bounced back after trailing 6-1, and how well the Tigers played through the rain delays on Monday.

"We played good on the trip," Leyland said. "We were pretty resilient. We could have cashed it in last night, you know, we were going to come home with a winning road trip, the weather was brutal ? that's a tough trip for guys. I was thrilled with it. I thought we did well."
