Peralta set to play in instructional league games.
DETROIT -- Jhonny Peralta will make the next step for a possible return to the Tigers, as he nears the end of his 50-game suspension, when he reports to the instructional league on Wednesday.

Workouts begin on Thursday at the Tigers' Spring Training facility in Lakeland, Fla., with games beginning on Sept. 23. Peralta will be playing almost exclusively in left field, a position he has been working on with outfield coach Tom Brookens for nearly a week.

After the Tigers traded for shortstop Jose Iglesias, the team hopes he may be able to fill the need to find a reliable right-handed bat that can play left field to face left-handed pitching. Matt Tuiasosopo and No. 1 prospect Nick Castellanos have split time in the spot this month with mixed results.

Peralta was hitting .347 with four home runs and 16 RBIs in 61 games before his suspension. Though he was limited to workouts in the Dominican Republic, his bat remains strong.

"The early signs are more than positive, but we're talking about coaches' [batting practice]," manager Jim Leyland said. "He's swinging the bat really, really well in BP, but once again, I emphasize that is coaches' BP. But that is a lot of games to miss and expect to come back sharp after playing just a few games."

In the instructional league, Peralta will be facing Class A level pitchers that are experimenting with new pitches or extending their seasons to gain more seasoning.

"It's going to be a world of difference," Leyland said. "Instructional league, normally you're going to see a bunch of top-notch young prospects that throw hard, wild."

Leyland said he assumes Peralta will rejoin the Tigers once his suspension ends before the team's final regular-season series in Miami on Sept. 27, but it's unknown whether he would be a part the team's potential playoff roster.

"I don't know if you want to call it a long shot, if you want call it 50-50, I have no idea," Leyland said. "[President/general manager Dave Dombrowski] will make a decision at some point."

Tuiasosopo looking to turn things around.
DETROIT -- Matt Tuiasosopo returned to the Tigers' lineup for the first time in more than a week, and he will look to change his fortune after a second half slump.
Before the All-Star break, Tuiasosopo was batting .329 with six home runs and 22 RBIs. Since Aug. 1, he is 8-for-41, all of the hits singles, with three walks and 17 strikeouts. Manager Jim Leyland said Tuiasosopo has been struggling to catch up with fastballs.

"I was just worried about, one, getting a good pitch, and two, putting a good swing on it, those two things," Tuiasosopo said. "It kind of went into, 'I'm going to change my approach to whatever this pitcher I think he's going to do, I'm going to do this on him.' I went got away from that process and that approach."

Until Tuiasosopo entered the starting lineup on Monday, he had been benched in favor of top prospect Nick Castellanos in Detroit's last four games against left-handed pitchers. It's been a conundrum for the Tigers, who are trying to help Tuiasosopo get out of his slump and try to give Castellanos a shot to prove himself.

"[Tuiasosopo has] been working with [hitting coach Lloyd McClendon], and he's been swinging really good lately," Leyland said. "I think he's done a good job for us, and I think it would be unfair to just totally forget him."

With inconsistent playing time, Tuiasosopo is trying to make the most out of his next opportunity. The Tigers are set to face five lefties in the next seven games.

"Sometimes you want to be so perfect that you want to have three or four perfect at-bats," Tuiasosopo said. "You want to hit a home run. If someone's on base, you want to drive them in. You can get out of your approach, and go away from where it needs to be. That's the challenge."
