  • Mark Canha (hip) expected to return on Sunday
    Mark Canha (hip) is expected to return to the Tigers’ lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Canha sat out his second straight game on Saturday with the hip issue, but the training staff believe it’s something that he can manage and play through rather than something that’s going to require a trip to the injured list. He told reporters on Saturday, “Just happens when you get to be 35... I’ve never had this injury before, so it’s new. The same thing happens with me every year. You never know what’s going to pop up as you get older.” He’s considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:18 pm
