News and Notes
May 13
Tigers manager Jim Leyland said Monday that he will not use Torii Hunter in place of Austin Jackson (hamstring) in center field.Advice : Hunter has only appeared in one game in center field since the start of 2011, so the Tigers want to keep him where he's comfortable in right field. Leyland plans to rely on a combination of Don Kelly, Andy Dirks and Avisail Garcia to fill in. Kelly is making the start there Monday night, but Garcia is likely to get most of the playing time.
