Al Alburquerque could be cleared to throw soon.
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Al Alburquerque, sidelined since surgery in December to insert a screw near the tip of his right elbow, was scheduled to undergo followup tests with a specialist on Monday in Lakeland.

If he is cleared, he'll begin a throwing program in the coming days, the first step toward getting back on a mound in a game and getting the Tigers a high-strikeout reliever back in their bullpen.

Alburquerque is projected to be ready to return to action around the All-Star break. He has spent all spring on a strengthening and fitness program.
