Tigers manager Jim Leyland said Coke could see some save opportunities while Jose Valverde (back) is sidelined, the Detroit Free Press reports.
Recommendation: Valverde is day-to-day with a strained lower back. Joaquin Benoit will see most of the save opportunities in Valverde's absence, but Coke could be asked to close out games if the opposing lineup has left-handed hitters due in the ninth.
