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 they?

Dontrelle Willis struggled mightily for the Florida Marlins last season. This is probably a continuation of it, making it the wrong decision to put so...

The Detroit Tigers shook-up their line-up yesterday be designating LF Jacques Jones for assignment, installing Gary Sheffield in LF and recalling OF Matt Joyce from AAA Toledo.

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.
