Last set of moves brings roster to 25.
The Tigers made a few moves on Saturday before their exhibition game against the Nationals was cancelled by inclement weather.
Detroit purchased the contract of outfielder Tyler Collins from Double-A Erie, and placed outfielder Andy Dirks (back) on the 15-day disabled list.
Shortstop Jose Iglesias (shin) and pitcher Bruce Rondon (elbow) were put on the 60-day DL, thus finalizing the 25-man roster before Monday's season opener with Kansas City.
This season is going to be different from the American League Central-winning campaign of 2013. Brad Ausmus took over as manager in the offseason, and the Tigers made a bunch of moves.
"I think when you look around the locker room, you see the same core group of guys, and you also see some fresh new faces," said outfielder Austin Jackson. "The lineup got a little more athletic, [and] we added some speed. Just adding some key parts to the team, in general, I think gets guys motivated and wanting to get the season started."

Rainout alters Anibal's workout routine.
The Tigers adjusted right-hander Anibal Sanchez's schedule after Saturday's exhibition game with the Nationals was rained out.
Sanchez, listed as the team's No. 3 starter, had been tabbed to start opposite Tanner Roark in Washington, but instead he just played catch, and he will throw a simulated game on Sunday after the team's optional workout in Detroit.
"Today will be different than tomorrow," manager Brad Ausmus said before the game was cancelled. "Tomorrow will be less. Tomorrow will be like 50 [pitches]. Today would be 80 to 85."
Sanchez finished the exhibition season with an 0-0 record and a 3.00 ERA. He made three starts and limited hitters to a .229 average.
He's coming off a solid 2013 season, his first with the Tigers. He recorded a career-best 14 wins and tied another career high with 202 strikeouts. He also led the American League with a 2.57 ERA.

The Tigers open the season on Monday vs. the Royals, with Justin Verlander on the mound.

Newly acquired Gonzalez eager for Opening Day start.
DETROIT -- Alex Gonzalez went from looking to make a Major League club out of camp to looking at making his sixth consecutive Opening Day start since missing the 2008 season with knee surgery. That streak includes last year, even though it barely felt like it for Gonzalez.

"Last year, I was at first base," Gonzalez said.
Yes, Gonzalez was the Opening Day first baseman last year for the Brewers, who were low on options after losing Mat Gamel to knee surgery.
"It was kind of boring for me," Gonzalez said. "When you play shortstop, third base, second base, you make a lot of movement."

Not only starting Opening Day, but doing it back at his longtime position at shortstop, clearly means something for Gonzalez, acquired just a week ago to fill the job. Until then, he was looking at a chance to start Opening Day at third base in Baltimore in place of injured Manny Machado.

Gonzalez also understands the challenges involved for him to do it at age 37, challenges that are more likely to affect him well beyond Opening Day.
"It's a hard position for my age," he said. "You have to stay healthy, do a lot of work to keep moving around very good. I have to cover a lot of ground in the hole, up the middle. For me, staying healthy is going to be the key this year.

"Tomorrow I'm going to be an Opening Day starter at shortstop in Detroit, and hopefully it's a great opportunity to play a lot more games here."
