If he goes unclaimed, he’ll be outrighted to Toledo, and the Tigers will still have his bat available if they want or need to make changes or injury fill-ins later on.

The Tigers still have to make two moves: Adam Wilk must be added to the roster for Saturday's start, and Brandon Inge will soon come off the disabled list.

In sickness or in health, Scherzer plans to start.
from the Tigers official site

Scherzer said he has been dealing with a sinus infection, low energy, body aches and night sweats. However, he said illness played no role in his last start.

Ramon Santiago has had one of the worse cases of illness on the team. What began as a sinus infection in the final week of Spring Training led to strep throat in recent days, knocking him out of the starting lineup Tuesday. He was back in the lineup on Wednesday against the Rays.
Most of the clubhouse has had some sort of symptoms, including manager Jim Leyland.
 
Head athletic trainer Kevin Rand said Wednesday morning it's "too soon to tell" whether Doug Fister will be ready to return when he's eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list April 23. Fister, who left his April 7 start with a left rib muscle strain, continues to receive treatment to try to eliminate the soreness, but isn't doing any physical activity.
 
April 12 in Tigers history:

1960: The Detroit Tigers make one of their best trades ever, acquiring Norm Cash from the Cleveland Indians for Steve Demeter. In 1961, Cash will lead the American League with a .361 batting average, and will go on to hit 373 home runs for the Tigers in 14 seasons.

2003 - The Detroit Tigers win for the first time this season, getting a three-run home run from Shane Halter to beat the Chicago White Sox, 4 - 3. The Tigers (1-9), the only team since 1900 to start back-to-back seasons with nine straight losses, started 0-11 in 2002.
