Surging Tigers To Get Ordonez Back
Jul 8, 2014 7:17 AM
The Tigers expect to have right fielder Magglio Ordonez back in the lineup as early as Monday.
"Target for him, I think, is Monday, but I can't swear to that," manager Jim Leyland said. "That's the target."
The right-fielder, who is on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo for right ankle weakness, told reporters on Wednesday of the Monday target.
Ordonez was hitting .172 when he went on the 15-day disabled May 11.
"So, hopefully, Magglio Ordoņez comes up and is close to what he's been as a productive offensive player," Leyland said, "and he'll be a big lift for us when it's all said and done believe me. If he doesn't hit, that's a different story."
The Tigers have won eight of their last 10 games.
