To clear a spot for Kinsler, the Tigers optioned outfielder JaCoby Jones to Toledo.
Jones is hitting .137 on the year and was just 1-for-11 with seven strikeouts since being recalled for his second stint with the Tigers.

Tigers Change Course With McCann, Who’s Headed For Toledo.

Sending him on a rehab assignment serves two purposes: It gives McCann some time to get back up to game speed, and it allows the Tigers to keep John Hicks and his hot bat around for a few more games.
In 13 games, Hicks is hitting .313 with three home runs and 12 RBIs.
