Tigers reliever Joel Zumaya pitched seven shutout innings for Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday night, and claims that he's "ready" to return to the major leagues.

"I'm about ready now," Zumaya said. "I'm about 100%. I've been throwing the ball 100%.

"Hopefully I'm up there (in the big leagues). Hopefully you guys (in Toledo) don't see me down here again. I'm ready, man. It's been a little road ... I'm going to be up there. I'm going to be happy to see the guys."

Detroit will host the Yankees in a home series next Monday through Wednesday.

"I'm ready to face those Yankees," Zumaya said. "I know they're coming to town."
