Detroit Tigers news, rumors and injuriesTigers | Victor Martinez likely to sit until break Wed, 09 Jul 2014 10:22:03 -0700 Detroit Tigers DH Victor Martinez (back) is likely to sit out all four games this weekend against the Kansas City Royals heading into the All-Star break, according to manager Brad Ausmus. That'll give Martinez eight more days to rest his back. Fantasy Tip: This will make the decision to bench Martinez easy for the rest of the week. Hopefully he'll come out of the All-Star break 100 percent healthy and ready to go.

Comment () | Share: Tigers | Miguel Cabrera not in lineup Wed, 09 Jul 2014 08:05:42 -0700 Detroit Tigers 1B Miguel Cabrera is not in the lineup Wednesday, July 9, because he wanted to give Cabrera an off-day during a day game.

Comment () | Share: Tigers | Andy Dirks probably needs max rehab Tue, 08 Jul 2014 13:44:42 -0700 Detroit Tigers OF Andy Dirks (back) probably will need a full 20-day rehab period, according to manager Brad Ausmus. Fantasy Tip: He's basically starting spring training now.

He has missed three straight contests and five of the last seven. Fantasy Tip: J.D. Martinez sticks in the lineup as designated hitter Tuesday. V-Mart may require a DL stint if his back continues to bother him, but they may just rest him until after the All-Star break to avoid that.

Comment () | Share: Tigers | Brad Ausmus wants to give Miguel Cabrera day off Sat, 05 Jul 2014 12:41:05 -0700 Detroit Tigers manager Brad Ausmus wants to give 1B Miguel Cabrera a day off before the All-Star break but may find it difficult to do so as long as DH/1B Victor Martinez (back) is out of the lineup. "It's more a mental break for Miggy," Ausmus said. "He's grinding out every single day. He has had some DH days, which helps getting him off his feet, but sometimes you just need a mental break. It becomes more difficult to do that with Victor hurt, but I may just have to do that regardless."
