Quick hits;

? Right-hander Anibal Sanchez threw a bullpen session at Joker Marchant Stadium on Saturday morning and felt good, Ausmus said. He is still on schedule to pitch in a Minor League game on Monday, but he likely will be on some sort of pitch limit given his recent bout with right shoulder inflammation.
"I'm sure it'll be different, more because he had that shoulder issue than anything else," Ausmus said.

? Outfielder Rajai Davis has been battling a sore right hamstring since Sunday, but he should return to game action soon. Ausmus said the speedy left fielder added running to his workout on Saturday after going through agility drills on Friday.
"Assuming everything goes well, it would be Monday at the latest," Ausmus said. "As far as the final determination, I've got to wait and see what transpires today with his running."

? Outfielder Andy Dirks (back surgery) told Ausmus recently that he was hoping to make it to Lakeland, Fla., to visit the Tigers before the club breaks camp.

March 23 in Tigers and mlb history:

1938 - Commissioner Landis frees 74 St. Louis Cardinals minor leaguers, among them Pete Reiser, in yet another attempt to halt the farm system cover-up. Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Larry MacPhail makes a pact with his St. Louis counterpart, Branch Rickey, to take the as-yet unknown Reiser and swap him back in the future, but the young outfielder's ability is too great to hide.

1989 The Tigers trade longtime institutional stalwart Tom Brookens to the Yankees.

1990 - Gambler Howard Spira is arrested for extorting money from New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who paid Spira $40,000 in January. The Commissioner will suspend Steinbrenner because of his relationship with the unsavory character.

2006: According to a new book, San Francisco Giants outfielder Barry Bonds tried to keep his name out of the BALCO scandal, sending his lawyer into meetings with company representatives to ask for protection.
