Ausmus on Cabrera at DH: "I didn't check with him today. I just put him there."

Joakim Soria threw without any pain for the first time since being injured. Ausmus had nothing specific on the next step for Soria.

Verlander's shoulder 'kind of fatigued,' but focus sharp.
Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander remains one of the game's most feared pitchers, even though he has struggled this season.

The former American League MVP and Cy Young Award winner admits his throwing shoulder has been "kind of fatigued," but says his focus is as sharp as ever.

"Baseball is my life, and I'm more at home here than anywhere else in the world," he said Tuesday in the visiting clubhouse at Progressive Field. "I'm always able to focus on that, especially when I'm on the mound, doing what I've done my whole life."

Verlander will make his 28th start Wednesday -- opposing Indians righty Danny Salazar -- in the third game of Detroit's four-game set against the Indians. He is 12-11 with a 4.68 ERA, striking out 132 in 171 1/3 innings, which are his worst statistics across the board since 2008.

Yet, Verlander says those numbers are secondary to those found in the standings. Entering Tuesday, Detroit led Seattle by 1 1/2 games for the second AL Wild Card spot and was a half-game behind first-place Kansas City in the AL Central.

"The sole focus for me is on the Detroit Tigers," said Verlander, who is under contract through 2019. "We're in the pennant race and I'm trying to win a pennant."

September 3 in Tigers history :

1906: Ty Cobb is back in the Detroit lineup for the first time in six weeks. He has a single and steal, but he misplays a Charlie Hemphill fly ball into a home run, and the Tigers lose 1 - 0 to the Browns'. Rain stops the game after seven innings. This might be the game he was allegedly eating popcorn in the outfield.

1928: The A's are set back as the Senators stop them twice, 6 - 1 and 5 - 4. Ty Cobb now in his second year with the Phildelphia Athletics makes the last of his 4,191 hits, the 724th double of his career, as an A's pinch hitter in the 9th inning. 22 years with the Tigers, and now finishing with 2 years with the A's, Cobb will retire holding over 90 Major League records.

1938 - Rudy York of the Tigers hits his 4th grand slam, tying the ML season record.

1967 - Before a Twins crowd of 43,494, Detroit's Earl Wilson pitches a
5 - 0 shutout to narrow the Twins' lead to half a game over the Tigers. The win is Wilson's 19th.

1995 - Tony Clark makes his big league debut.

2002: Andy Van Hekken (1-0), with a fastball topping out in the mid-80s, becomes the first American Leaguer to throw a complete game shutout in his debut since Mike Norris in 1975, and the first Tiger since Schoolboy Rowe in 1933. He stops Cleveland 4 - 0. The Holland, MI native was 5-0 at Toledo (AAA) before his promotion.
