Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

Tigers 2 - Phillies 1 ? Doug Fister (8 IP, unearned run) and Joaquin Benoit held the depleted Phils to 4 singles, and Alex Avila ? then 2-42 off southpaws, with 20 Ks ? flipped a 1-0 deficit with a 2-run double off Cole Hamels. Detroit went to 4-1 in games played without Miguel Cabrera this year, while Philly lost their 6th in a row. Benoit has allowed 7 runs in 42 IP, and hasn?t blown a lead all year (10 saves, 9 holds).
Avila is 11-55 with RISP, but 10-34 with 2 or more on base.

Torii Hunter will be back in the lineup tonight for the Tigers. Leyland is still waiting to decide on Cabrera.
 
Cabrera just entered Leyland's office after doing a handful of on-field activities. Should know his status soon.
Miguel Cabrera just walked back in from workout. "No lineup yet?" he asks jokingly.

Miguel Cabrera is in the Tigers lineup. Game Thread up at 5pm

Abdominal injury — not back or hip — kept Miggy out four games, but he's back now.

Infante off baseball activities for at least week.
DETROIT -- Although the Tigers hoped infielder Omar Infante would be able to rejoin the club this weekend, his recent setback may delay his return to mid-August.

Doctors told Infante that he wouldn't be able to participate in baseball activities for one-to-two weeks after his most recent examination, while he works to rehab and strengthen his sprained left ankle.

Infante played four innings on Thursday in a rehab start for Class A West Michigan before leaving the game. He was originally expected to play six innings.
"One more week, two more weeks, I think I'll feel better," Infante said on Friday.

Infante, on the 15-day disabled list, has been out since July 3, when he sustained the injury on a hard slide by the Blue Jays' Colby Rasmus.

Hunter returns following sound pregame drills.
DETROIT -- Outfielder Torii Hunter returned to the Tigers' lineup on Saturday night after missing Friday's game due to ongoing soreness in his left Achilles.

Hunter did a series of drills on the field at Comerica Park around 3 p.m. ET with head athletic trainer Kevin Rand watching, and says that he didn't have any problems.
"It feels great," said Hunter, who started in right field and hit second against the Phillies. "I went out there and did everything possible. Cuts, kareoka, side shuffles, sprints, stop-and go, everything and it felt good."

Although Hunter did a similar test of drills on Friday, he wanted to be smart about not aggravating the situation.
"It was just sore," Hunter said. "It wasn't any pain or anything. When you lift weights, and the next day you're sore, that's how I felt."

Hunter entered Saturday second in the American League with 18 RBIs in July and is third with 17 runs scored to go along with a .349 batting average and six home runs.
