Young to Be Activated

Tigers announced after the game that they're activating Dmitri Young from the DL tomorrow and designating Alexis Gomez for assignment. If no team claims Gomez by Tuesday, he'll accept his assignment to Triple-A Toledo. Young will be back in the starting lineup, but Leyland emphasized he'll have to hit.

"I'm not doing a trial here with Dmitri," Leyland said. "He'll have to produce."

The 87 runs allowed from Tigers pitching through their first 28 games entering Thursday was the lowest total through that many games from an American League team since the 1990 Oakland A's, who allowed 84 through that same point in their season. The last Tigers team to do it was in 1972, when they allowed 77.
