rehab assignment Stories - Bless You Boys
Is Freddy Ready?
MLB.com's Jason Beck was down in Toledo tonight (along with Jim Leyland) to check out Freddy Garcia's start for the Mud Hens, and he filed a report on his blog. According to Beck, Garcia was either supposed to go for three innings or throw 50 pitches, whichever came first. In a display of...
No Walks, No Worries For the D-Train?
Life is really all about the little victories, isn't it? Getting that nice parking space at the grocery store. Nabbing the last chocolate chip cookie at the coffee shop. Finding a five-dollar bill in your pants pocket. And Dontrelle Willis not walking any batters in his latest outing. The...
Like Stripes on the Fur Coat of a Tiger - 07/07
Instead of the usual Open Thread posted on off-days, I thought maybe we'd be a little more topic-driven today because there's a decent amount of news to bat around. After Justin Verlander's turn in the rotation was moved up because of today's day off, it looked like we'd get a clash of pitching...
The D-Train Sees Action in Lakeland
Almost three weeks after being sent down to Lakeland for major reconstructive pitching instruction, Dontrelle Willis finally saw some game action (in what turned out to be a 20-inning marathon) for the Lakeland Flying Tigers last night. Some have been scratching their heads, wondering why we...
Sheff Returns?
As of yesterday, it wasn't quite clear when Gary Sheffield would end his rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland and rejoin the Detroit Tigers. Over the weekend, Sheffield only played in one out of three scheduled games. On Friday, he attended a graduation. Saturday's game was rained out. But...
Zumaya's Back, Bautista's Bounced
We all knew Joel Zumaya was returning to the Detroit Tigers beginning with tonight's game in San Diego. What we didn't know is who would be making room for him on the 25-man roster. Would it be Freddy Dolsi (even though he's been pitching too well to go)? Casey Fossum (even though he might be...
Zumaya is On the Way
I was under the impression that an important step in Joel Zumaya's rehabilitation was being able to pitch in back-to-back games before returning to the majors. After one inning of work last night with Triple-A Toledo, in which he struck out two batters and gave up an unearned run on two hits, the...
How Do You Spell Relief? Z-U-M-A-Y-A?
Whether it's because last night's loss to the Oakland Athletics ended around 2 a.m. EST or because it's less depressing to highlight something hopeful, rather than rehash another game the Tigers let slip away, the story du jour this morning is of a more glass-half-full variety. Both Fernando...
D-Train D-Railing Again
If Armando Galarraga was preparing to return to Toledo once Dontrelle Willis returns from the disabled list, maybe he should put those plans on hold. Because it looks like the ol' D-Train might need some more tuning up on his minor league rehab assignment. (Trains don't really get tuned up, do...
Any Walks For the D-Train in Rehab? I Say No, No, No
At least one of the Detroit starting pitcher threw well last night. Unfortunately for the Tigers, he did so on a rehab assignment with the Toledo Mud Hens. Dontrelle Willis wasn't just making sure his knee felt better, but was also trying to regain the control that had eluded him in his first...
