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

Davis' shoulder still a little sore, but 'playable'.
DETROIT -- Rajai Davis paused and smiled Tuesday afternoon when asked how his left shoulder, the one he injured a couple weeks earlier on a diving catch in Oakland, was feeling.

"It's very playable," he said with a laugh.
It's still sore, he admitted, but not a deep soreness. It's better than it was going into last week, before he was out of the starting lineup for all three games against the Twins.

Davis returned to the Tigers' lineup Monday, taking his usual spot in left field, and went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBIs. Afterwards, he had the shoulder iced.
"It's actually a lot better than it was," Davis said.

Since it's his non-throwing shoulder, it's not going to bother him on many activities. He can try to avoid more diving attempts, leaving his swings at the plate. It's more noticeable when he swings and misses than when he makes contact.

Hunter continues to rest after hamstring cramp.
DETROIT -- Torii Hunter was walking around the Tigers' clubhouse slowly and carefully Tuesday afternoon after leaving Monday's game against the Royals with a right hamstring cramp. It was more tightness than pain, but it was still significant.

"It just knotted up really bad," Hunter said. "We're just kind of icing it, treating it, trying to get the blood flowing in it."

Though he's listed as day to day, it's a severe enough injury that he sounded less than optimistic for a return for either of the remaining games of the Royals series.
"Hopefully by the Cleveland series, I'll be ready to go," Hunter said.

Hunter said he first felt the hamstring over the weekend series against Minnesota, starting with the long game Saturday and continuing into the Sunday afternoon game on short rest. It tightened on him when he went from first to third base on Victor Martinez's ninth-inning fly ball that Oswaldo Arcia dropped at the right-field fence.

Once he singled on Monday, he said, "I was trying to go two [bases] and right out of the box, I pushed it too hard."
It was a severe enough cramp, he said, that Miguel Cabrera carried him up to the clubhouse.
