With Victor Martinez unlikely to return this season, the Tigers are looking for a middle-of-the-order hitter.
The Tigers had hoped that Martinez would return in August, but a source says that it's only a 50-50 shot that he returns at all in 2012.

The Tigers made another move Monday, acquiring second baseman Omar Infante and right-hander Anibal Sanchez from the Marlins in exchange for 21-year-old righty Jacob Turner and two minor leaguers.
"We gave up a lot," Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski said. "It hurts to do what we did."

Miguel Cabrera hit two home runs on Sunday, the 299th and 300th of his career.
His 300th home run cleared the wall in center field with room to spare and sailed toward the ivy at Detroit's home park.
It's not the easiest place to retrieve a baseball.
"Somebody got it. They got it somehow," manager Jim Leyland said. "They got in there and got it, and that's his 300th, so I'm sure they'll take care of it for him."
Cabrera became the second Venezuela-born player to reach 300 home runs. Andres Galarraga hit 399.
"For my country, yes, it's very special," he said. "Hopefully a lot of players can follow from Venezuela and try hitting 300 more."
