Tigers Shake Up Lineup With Hope Of Reinvigorating Offense
"Things weren't working, so we looked at it, or I looked at it, tried to find some way we could maybe mix it up," Ausmus said Tuesday.

"Things weren't working, so we looked at it, or I looked at it, tried to find some way we could maybe mix it up," Ausmus said Tuesday.
"Lobstein has done a nice job," Ausmus said, "but let's face it, Justin Verlander's a different animal when it comes to starting pitchers."
Perez had played in 22 games for Detroit this season and had a batting average of .061 and an on-base percentage of .088.
"My dad having played here and having coached here for so long, it's like home," Aaron Fields, the brother of Daniel, said. "It is home."
Price, posts pretty funny videos on his Moby Picture account and Tuesday isn't any different.
In 48 games for Toledo in 2015, Fields has a batting average of .271 and an on-base percentage of .394.
Cabrera has a batting average of .333 and an on-base percentage of .441, the best in the American League.
This guy easily has 30-plus on him.
"When you put a lot of pressure on yourself, you overdo it," Cabrera said. "That's when you make mistakes, when you try too hard."
Verlander gave up six hits, walked two and struck out three for the Mud Hens against Indianapolis, Pittsburgh's top minor league club.
By the time he brought in Alex Wilson with two outs in the second inning, the damage already had been done, as five of the Los Angeles Angels' first 12 batters had cleared the fence.
Yoenis Cespedes' flailing swing at Huston Street's breaking ball with the bases loaded was an appropriate symbol for the low point in the Detroit Tigers' latest offensive embarrassment.
Smith made his big league debut last year for Detroit. He pitched two games for Oakland this year and then was sent to the Angels in early May.
The report does not come as much of a shock given comments Price made back in January.
Everyone has someone who looks like them.
