Jackson not ready to resume baseball activities
What was once hoped to be a day to day injury for Tigers leadoff man Austin Jackson now appears all but certain to stretch beyond the minimum stay on the disabled list as the Tigers try to get him past his abdominal strain.

While Jackson remains in Detroit rehabbing with physical therapist Steve Scher, he isn't ready for baseball activities and won't do any until the Tigers return home and have their medical staff re-evaluate him Friday. That's also the first day Jackson will be eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list.

Any chance of having him back Friday with little or no work on the field now seems out of consideration.
"It's not going to be as soon as we'd hoped, obviously," manager Jim Leyland said of Jackson's return.

That's a tough break for the Tigers, who could use Jackson's glove and bat in center and leadoff, even if it means shifting hot-hitting Quintin Berry to another outfield spot or the bench. But it also delays the much-speculated roster decision on how to make room for Jackson if Berry's going to stick around.

May 30 in Tigers and mlb history:

1970 - All-Star voting is returned to the fans, as computerized punch-card ballots appear in stores and ballparks coast to coast. Since 1958 the All-Star squads had been selected by managers, coaches, and players.

2011: The Tigers beat the Twins, 7 - 6, on a controversial 8th-inning double by Alex Avila. Avila hits a low line drive down the third base line that rolls into foul territory; two fans stretch over the railing and attempt to grab the ball, which goes past them, skips on the concrete base of the stands, and bounces into another group of fans, hitting one in the chest, before ending its run back in foul territory. Umpire Gary Darling calls fan interference and sends runner Jhonny Peralta, who was on first base, all the way home, ruling that the first spectators deflected the ball's trajectory and that Peralta would have otherwise scored. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire comes out to argue but loses the argument, is ejected, and Peralta's run is the deciding one in the game.
