--LHP Phil Coke (bone bruise in right foot) went on the 15-day disabled list May 24. He will miss at least two starts. He's expected to return when eligible. Coke will start for Triple-A Toledo on June 3 in Scranton, Pa., before returning to the Tigers and starting in Texas on June 8, manager Jim Leyland said.
--LHP Brad Thomas (sore left elbow) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to May 11.

Ordonez tested his right ankle pregame workouts May 27-28 in Detroit. He feels he's making significant progress toward a return (was eligible May 26), but is expected to go on a rehab assignment.

He was transferred to the 60-day DL on May 22, and he had stopped doing baseball activities as of Memorial Day weekend.

He was transferred to the 60-day DL on April 18. He had exploratory surgery May 10, and he might be out for the season. He will be evaluated sometime in June.
