Al Alburquerque still building up, not ready to return.
Two outings into Al Alburquerque's Minor League rehab assignment, the right-handed reliever appears to at least be back in his strikeout form. All four outs he recorded at Class A Lakeland came by strikeout, while all four balls put in play against him went for base hits.

Alburquerque has a long way to go yet before he's declared ready for the big leagues, and until he can get to that point, he isn't anywhere near the forefront of manager Jim Leyland's concerns.

"Alburquerque right now is on the back burner for me, way back," Leyland said, "because you don't know how he's going to come out of it health-wise. I mean, if Alburquerque could get himself into the form that he was last year, he's going to be a big league pitcher, and he'd be on this staff."

In other words, he needs to continue it for a longer stretch against upper-level hitters before he becomes a serious consideration for the bullpen.

"A lot of people don't understand, because a guy's back throwing doesn't mean he's ready for the big leagues. The guy gets through a two-inning performance in Lakeland, but it doesn't mean he's ready for the big leagues. His arm's got to be able to take the stress. You have to find those things out. He's got to pitch. He's got to build back up."

July 31 in Tigers and mlb history:

1914 - Red Sox owner Joe Lannin buys the Providence Grays (IL) and Melrose Park from the Detroit Tigers for $75,000. Detroit gets to pick one player from the Providence roster and they select P Red Oldham, overlooking Carl Mays. Detroit then purchases the Buffalo (IL) team.

1916: Babe Ruth fires a two-hitter, by Ty Cobb and George Burns, for a 6 - 0 win for the Red Sox over the Tigers.

1961 - The 2nd All-Star Game of 1961 ends in a 1 - 1 tie at Fenway Park. Rocky Colavito homers for the American League run. Heavy rains end the exhibition after nine innings.

1981 - The fifty-day old baseball strike is settled as owners and players agree on a pooling system for free agent compensation. The All-Star game will mark the end of baseball's first-ever mid-season work stoppage.

1996: The Dodgers obtain OF Chad Curtis from the Tigers in exchange for pitchers Joey Eischen and John Cummings. Curtis will lead off in place of the cancer-stricken Brett Butler.

2011: Two of the best pitchers in the American League face each other, as Detroit's Justin Verlander faces off against Los Angeles' Jered Weaver, both looking for their 15th win. Verlander takes a no-hitter into the 8th inning, while Weaver loses his cool after Carlos Guillen hits a 7th-inning homer; he throws a pitch over the head of the next batter, Alex Avila, and is ejected. Verlander and the Tigers prevail, 3 - 2.
