Perez recalled due to Peralta's suspension.
Technically, Hernan Perez's stint back at Double-A Erie lasted just three days before the Tigers recalled him to replace the suspended Jhonny Peralta. For all practical purposes, however, Perez never left.

Under most circumstances, a player optioned to the Minors must wait 10 days before he can be recalled, unless he's replacing a player that is placed on the disabled list. For roster purposes, however, a suspended player is treated like a DL situation.

Thus Perez, optioned to Erie on Friday to make room for Jose Iglesias on the Tigers roster, was back with the team in Cleveland by Monday afternoon. Since the Erie squad was on the road at New Britain, Conn., over the weekend, Perez didn't go far.

Perez will reprise his role as the part-time second baseman alongside Ramon Santiago while Omar Infante is out.

Infante to begin rehab; aims for Thursday return.
Omar Infante could be back in the Tigers' lineup by the time the club leaves town Thursday. Detroit's second baseman will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

The Mud Hens will be on the road but not far away, beginning a two-game series Tuesday night at the Indians' Triple-A affiliate in Columbus. Infante said he'll be the designated hitter on Tuesday, then play seven innings at second base Wednesday.
"We'll see after that," Infante said.

The Tigers have been in a wait-and-see mode on Infante for about a month while his sprained left ankle, sustained on Colby Rasmus' takeout slide at second base July 3 in Toronto, slowly recovered.

Infante spent two games on rehab at West Michigan two weeks ago, but he left his first game at second base after just four innings when running the bases aggravated the ankle.

He has been running the bases with decent speed the past couple days, but it clearly has been a slow process, and it's not yet complete.
"I feel better today," Infante said. "Just I feel pain when I'm turning the bases, but I feel better today."

August 6 in Tigers and mlb history:

1912: Inspired in part by the Ty Cobb suspension and the Tigers' brief strike in May, the formation of a "Players Fraternity" is announced, headed by attorney and former player Dave Fultz. Leading players include Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Mickey Doolan, and Jake Daubert. The goals are to oppose contract violations, rowdyism, and anything that may "impair a player's ability."

1938: Mickey Cochrane is fired as Detroit manager and is replaced with Del Baker.

1941 - Detroit P Al Benton collects two sacrifices in one inning, a major-league record.

1942 - An editorial in The Sporting News argues for segregation on the diamond. The column states that members of each race "prefer to draw their talents from their own ranks and both groups know their crowd psychology and do not care to run the risk of damaging their own game."

1947 - Can a pinch runner drive in a run? Skeeter Webb of the Tigers takes the paths for Fred Hutchinson against the Indians and scores. Detroit bats around, and Webb lifts a fly ball that scores a run in the 9-run 8th. Stubby Overmire wins 13 - 6, in the first of 2. Detroit sweeps, winning the nitecap 7 - 5 behind Hutchinson.

1951 - Lame duck Commissioner Happy Chandler testifies in front of the Senate committee, urging that baseball expand out of its eastern area. He adds that some owners see sport only as big business.

1952: The St. Louis Browns' Satchel Paige 46, beats Virgil Trucks 1 - 0 in 12 innings.

1962 Detroit’s Steve Boros homers three times in one game.

1974 Norm Cash appears in his final game with the Tigers.

1981: The players approve a split-season format necessitated by the seven-week strike. The Yankees, A's, Phillies and Dodgers are declared the first-half champions and will be automatically qualified for the 1981 Postseason.

1984 - The Tigers and Red Sox split, with Detroit outslugging Boston in the opener 9 - 7, and Boston replying 10 - 2. Aurelio Lopez (8-0) wins the first game in relief as Chet Lemon and Lance Parrish each hit homers and drive in three runs.

1985 - As announced three weeks ago, the Players Association keep their word and go on strike. The second mid-season work stoppage in history will last only two days.

2001: The Hall of Fame Veterans Committee, comprised of five former players, five media members and five former executives, which was established in 1953, is to be replaced by a 90-member group made up of the members of the Hall of Fame (61), the recipients of the J.G. Taylor Spink Award for writers (13), the Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasters (13) and current Veterans Committee members (3). The new committee will be able to elect players only once every two years and executives, umpires and managers only once every four years.
