Brennan Boesch (sore right thumb) left the Aug. 10 game. X-rays were negative, but he was scheduled to have an MRI.
The biggest obstacle standing in the way of the Cleveland Indians moving within one game of the first-place Detroit Tigers is Cy Young Award candidate Justin Verlander.
Three reasons the Tigers haven't been able to put away the rest of the American League Central:
Rick Porcello turned in his worst start in six weeks, allowing eight runs on 11 hits in 3 2/3 innings in Cleveland's 13th straight win over Detroit at Progressive Field.
Clouds have blown in on that nice, sunny feeling the Tigers had a few days ago.
With a gusty trade, the Cleveland Indians grabbed an ace at the trading deadline.
Ubaldo Jimenez showed why Cleveland traded for him, winning his home debut and rookie Jason Kipnis went 5-for-5 with four runs and three RBIs as the Indians shaved another game off Detroit's lead in the AL Central by beating the Tigers 10-3 on Wednesday night.
After a marathon 14 inning game last night, the Tigers look to Rick Porcello to eat some innings and get the team a victory on the road in Cleveland.
Ubaldo Jimenez was not very effective in his Cleveland debut. He'll likely need to be better if the Indians are going to put more pressure on the first-place Detroit Tigers in the AL Central.
During last nights marathon game between the Tigers and Indians there was something that caught Doug Karsch's eye.
Austin Jackson searched 14 innings for a hit and didn't find one. Jackson went 0-for-6 and is now hitting .243.
The short-term result was a negative, but Jim Leyland's bullpen might finally be lining up the way he wants it.
The way it ended, nearly seven hours after the start, left the worn-out Cleveland Indians wondering if they should even celebrate.
The Detroit Tigers went 14 innings and endured a rain delay before losing to the Cleveland Indians 3-2 on Tuesday night.
Brandon Inge says the Detroit Tigers assured him he'd be back in the majors by September when they sent him down to Triple-A Toledo last month.
Detroit starts the day with a four game lead over the Indians in the American League Central.
The Detroit Tigers acquired Doug Fister before the trading deadline in hopes that he will help deliver the team's first division title in 24 years.
Victor Martinez is expected to return to action Tuesday night in Cleveland after sitting out Detroit's game Sunday in Kansas City due to a left knee injury.
It probably would not have become a distraction, bit clearly Mike Ilitch wasn't interested in taking that chance.
As the leaders of the Tigers' organization, general manager Dave Dombrowski and manager Jim Leyland have presented the classic glass half-full, glass half-empty tale.
The Tigers decision to extend the contracts of Dave Dombrowski and Jim Leyland today is ridiculous to me.
These are the "Dog Days" of summer for Major League Baseball , when teams that were riding high in the spring are fading under the hot July and August skies. And as we move into the second week of August, the Tigers are riding high in first place in the American League Central, with a four game lead over second place Cleveland .
I want to thank Mr. Ilitch and Dave Dombrowski for the support and confidence they have shown in me and I look forward to managing the Detroit Tigers in 2012.
The Detroit Tigers have annouced contract extentions for President, CEO and GM David Dombrowski and Manager Jim Leyland.
There are written rules and unwritten rules. Count me among those getting annoyed with the unwritten kind in sports.
