Cameron Maybin felt good enough taking batting practice Saturday that he told manager Brad Ausmus that he felt ready to return. After a few at-bats in Jordan Zimmermann?s simulated game Sunday morning, the Tigers gave him the go-ahead, activating him from the 15-day disabled list. Dixon Machado, who hasn?t started since the Erick Aybar trade, was optioned to Triple-A Toledo to make room.

Meanwhile, Victor Martinez gets a day out of the lineup, which coupled with Monday?s scheduled off-day will give him two days of rest ahead of the upcoming series at Minnesota. Miguel Cabrera gets a day at DH, with Jarrod Saltalamacchia starting at first base.
On the Red Sox side, big lefty Henry Owens gets a spot start with Eduardo Rodriguez injured.

Soft tosing triple a spot start guy blowing 90 mph fastballs right by maybin and Miggy

Pathetic
Tigers are hitting under .200 on this home stand..and if not for JD I think it would well under .100, that's inexcusable

 

[tigermud]

Five k's for ownes through two, my gawd this team is unwatchable fu tigers!

 

[manchild98]

I most likely WON'T be able to do it.

 

[tigermud]

Maybe...We'll see. At the moment I can't even watch this crap, anyone else feel free to start it tues-weds

 

[manchild98]

Great AB by Salty, walk. Aybar doubles off a high chopper down the line.

 

[manchild98]

Tigers now 3-41 in their last 7 games with runners in scoring position.

 

[manchild98]

2 out IBB to Miggy to load the bases for JD.

 

[manchild98]

JD doubles down the right field line!!!! 2-0.

 

[manchild98]

Upton kills it!!! 5-0!

 

[manchild98]

5 runs scored with 2 outs.

 

[papacrick]

Apparently that 3 day break is just what the doctor ordered. Props to Wally Joyner for identifying the problem and getting him straightened out. Could really use that bat down the stretch if they're going to make a run.

 

[manchild98]

Salty has seen 21 pitches in his 2 at bats. A 10 and 11 pitch at bat.

 

[manchild98]

Miggy singles and JD doubles off the left field wall. He's on fire.

 

[manchild98]

Upton crushes another 3 run shot with 2 outs! 8-0.

 

[gotime909]

Too bad they didnt think to ever give Aviles 3 straight games off to fix him before they got rid of him.

 

[manchild98]

Upton was like 1 for his last 30 before yesterday. Now has 4 hits in the last 2 games. Ties a career high with 6 rbi's.

JV gives up a triple and sac fly plates their first run. 8-1.
