Raburn to begin rehab assignment with Mud Hens.
Ryan Raburn is set to begin a rehab assignment in Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.

The outfielder/second baseman has been sidelined since Aug. 1 with a sprained right thumb and has been unable to grip a bat well enough to swing. However, the injury progressed to the point where he can begin taking some hacks with the Mud Hens.

During Raburn's absence the Tigers added a right-handed bat in outfielder Jeff Baker, so it's unclear what Raburn's role will be when he returns. In Toledo, though, the 31-year-old will continue to play left field, second base and, possibly, some first base "in case you want to get Fielder a rest," manager Jim Leyland said.

Raburn's struggles this season are well documented, as he is batting .172 with one home run and 12 RBIs in 63 games. He was sent to Toledo on May 29 and returned on June 14 to platoon against lefties.

Leyland's strategy appeared to be working, as Raburn posted a .321 average in June. But he followed that solid month by hitting .149 in July before the injury put him on the bench.

Leyland said on Tuesday that it doesn't matter where Raburn plays in the field with Toledo -- all that matters is how he approaches his plate appearances.

"The fact of the matter is, he has to swing the bat," Leyland said. "So it doesn't matter whether he's the DH or left field or first baseman, right field or second baseman. It's a matter of getting him to swing the bat."

Fister's rough start attributed to groin injury.
Right-hander Doug Fister matched his shortest outing of the season on Sunday, going just 3 2/3 innings and allowing seven runs in a 7-5 loss to the Orioles.

Apparently, it was due to more than just a bad day.

"We're a little worried about him. He's got a groin situation going on," manager Jim Leyland told the media prior to Tuesday's game against Toronto.

That groin injury, Fister confirmed, popped up before Sunday's contest even began. He was on the mound throwing his warmup pitches, and on his third throw, the right side of the groin tightened.

"I felt it a little bit early on, and it's just one of those things where you don't really think about it," Fister said. "Just kind of go through whatever you have to go through and pitch. We really didn't think too much about it. It ended up getting tight afterward, and we're addressing it and taking it day by day.

"It doesn't affect pushing off the rubber at all. ... That's why I was able to continue to pitch and be able to get through it."

This is the third injury Fister has had to deal with this season, as he's twice been placed on the disabled list with a strained right rib-cage muscle. He hopes to avoid another stint, but both he and Leyland acknowledged that it's unclear if he'll make Saturday's start vs. the Angels.

"I can't guess that," Fister said. "It's tight today, so we're treating it as we need to, and we're going to kind of play it by ear."

"We're wasting time right now," Leyland said. "Fister has a groin issue. We will have a pitcher, whether it's Fister or someone else for his next start. Period."

Fister said that he will throw at some point during the next few days to get a better assessment of where he stands regarding Saturday. But for now, head athletic trainer Kevin Rand said the plan is for rest and treatment.

"It's just ice and [stimulation] at this point until we get him more comfortable," Rand said. "It's tightened up right now; the soreness isn't any different than what it was. Once we get through that initial part, we'll start working heat and trying to work through it."

Drew Smyly had been scheduled to pitch the second game of a doubleheader for the Mud Hens on Tuesday night but was pulled after one scoreless inning. It's likely the move was precautionary, as he would be the one to replace Fister if needed. Had Smyly thrown longer on Tuesday night, he would have been on four days' rest for Saturday.

Miguel Cabrera raises $200,000 for youth programs
DETROIT -- Miguel Cabrera helped raise more than $200,000 for youth baseball and children's health programs through the Detroit Tigers Foundation, the Miguel Cabrera Foundation and area children's hospitals thanks to the fourth annual Keeping Kids in the Game event at Comerica Park, held on Monday night.

The event, started by former Tigers Carlos Guillen and Brandon Inge, began as a way to raise money by hosting fans for an evening at the ballpark. Cabrera has picked up the cause over the past couple of years.

Proceeds from the event go to support programs facilitated by the Children's Hospital of Michigan as well as the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital. As part of the event, nearly 200 patients from the two hospitals were treated to a night at the ballpark.

August 22 in Tigers and mlb history:

1905 - Umpire John Sheridan forfeits a game to Washington in the 11th when the Tigers refuse to resume play after a lengthy dispute. Washington is ahead 2 - 1 at the time of the forfeiture.

1915: In the 2nd inning of game one of a doubleheader versus Detroit, the crowd sees the Senators score a run with no times at bat, the only time it's ever happened. Chick Gandil and Merito Acosta walk; Rip Williams sacrifices, and George McBride hits a sacrifice fly, scoring Gandil, and the Tigers catch Acosta off second base when OF Bobby Veach throws to Ossie Vitt. Washington's Walter Johnson goes on to win and snap the Tigers' 9-game win streak.

1946 - Clubs approve a change to a 168-game schedule, but they will rescind the decision at another meeting on September 16. Television is first recognized, with clubs given rights to their own games. Players jumping to outlaw leagues will not be allowed to apply for reinstatement for five years.

1978 - Ron LeFlore swipes his 27th consecutive base as Detroit beats the Twins 7 - 3. He began the streak on July 16.

1997: The Tigers pound the Brewers 16 - 1, with the aid of 23 hits and an 11-run 7th inning. Bobby Higginson gets five hits for Detroit, while Travis Fryman and Tony Clark drive in four runs apiece.

2011: Detroit's Justin Verlander continues his dominance on the mound, earning his major league-leading 19th win in the Tigers' 5 - 2 victory over the Rays. It is his 7th consecutive winning start. Alex Avila, hitting .424 in August, hits a two-run homer off Jeff Niemann in the 2nd to send the Bengals on their way.
