Tigers Head Athletic Trainer Kevin Rand said Dirks will see Chris Zingas a foot & ankle specialist friday.

Andy Dirks' return before All-Star break unlikely.
Tigers outfielder Andy Dirks will have his right Achilles tendon examined on Friday in Detroit, which will determine whether he can resume physical activities.
The Tigers are hoping for a bit of good news on an injury that has now sidelined their left fielder for close to a month. What was once believed to be a day-to-day situation has lingered far longer than imagined -- to the point that a return before the All-Star break would appear unlikely.
Dr. Chris Zingas, the Tigers' foot and ankle specialist, will perform the checkup.
Dirks was batting .328 with four home runs and 16 RBIs through 37 games before the injury.

Peralta starting to get in the swing of things.
Jhonny Peralta said he's playing like he did last year, when he barely missed a .300 season to go with 21 homers and 86 RBIs. He's far off pace for all of those numbers this year, but he feels like he's poised for a better second half.
Peralta's three hits Wednesday against Texas raised his June average to .307 (23-for-75). He has nine extra-base hits for the month, but none of them are home runs. He hasn't homered since May 29 in Boston.
He has had a handful of drives to the warning track for outs. By contrast, his three hits Wednesday were all easy drives off Roy Oswalt, including a two-run double to left in the fifth inning.
"I'm still the same guy," Peralta said. "I know what I have. I feel the same this year. The only difference is I hit some balls good, but straight at somebody."

V-Mart looking at possible September return.
from the Tigers official site

"From a stability standpoint, his knee looks great," Rand said. "But at this point in time, his single-leg strength on that side isn't where it needs to be to begin running at this point. So he's going to go through a single-leg strengthening program."

That program will take up all of July. If that goes well, Martinez will begin a running program in August while gradually picking up baseball activities. That, too, will take up the bulk of the month.
 
Tigers take game 1 vs. Rays with 5-2 win. Scherzer sharp again thru 6IP, Cabrera crushes ball in all 5AB, finishes w/ 4H, HR, 2RBI.

Tigers‬ took early 2-0 lead on Young and Avila 2-out RBI hits in 3rd....Cabrera had RBI single in 6th, solo HR in 9th to finish scoring.

Tigers‬ stung ball all night...had 14 of 15H vs. Shields...most he's ever allowed. Oswalt gave up13H last night, most he's ever allowed.

Jackson keeps rolling - 4 Hit night included 3 line drive singles + triple...now hitting .325, 4th in AL. Cabrera's RBIs give him 62, 2nd in AL.

Coke, Benoit and Valverde closed it out - Valverde gets 14th save with 1-2-3 ninth.
