The Tigers hope a day off will help Gary Sheffield turn around his poor start. The nine-time All-Star hit just .119 through the first 17 games this season, his first in Detroit, and is hitless in his last 12 at-bats. "He'll start fresh on the West Coast, he'll be back in tomorrow," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said Sunday before the series finale against the White Sox. "It's a new team and he wants to do it so bad because the fans have been great. He's probably pressing, but his timing is just not right." |
