Anibal starts throwing, reports being pain-free.
The Tigers likely have a couple weeks to go before they can return Anibal Sanchez to their rotation. His first throws Friday, however, gave them some encouragement.

Sanchez, out for the past couple weeks with a strained right pectoral muscle, made about 40 throws off flat ground -- essentially playing catch -- and said he had no discomfort.

"Definitely a really good sign that I don't feel any pain," Sanchez said. "Everything felt free. I let it go on a couple throws at the end and I didn't feel anything, either. Now I just continue to work and be back soon."

Sanchez will throw again between games of Saturday's day-night doubleheader -- again off flat ground, this time more throws.

Joakim Soria, who also has been on the disabled list for close to two weeks, is also scheduled to throw Saturday. He has been sidelined by a left oblique strain.

"He can be activated on Monday," team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski told MLB Network Radio. "I'm not sure he'll be activated right then, but he's very close."

Another reliever reporting improvement, Dombrowski said, is long man Luke Putkonen, out since mid-April with elbow inflammation.

"He's getting pretty close," Dombrowski said. "For him, we're pleasantly surprised. And really, in the back of my mind, I was not planning on him being back. That one's going well for us."

Putkonen could make a Minor League rehab appearance or two in the Tigers' system -- either at one of the upper levels as their seasons end, or for Class A West Michigan during the playoffs.

Dombrowski: No options elsewhere outside of roster.
Tigers president/general manager Dave Dombrowski's assessment of their August trade market might well have doubled as a message for his struggling hitters: If Detroit's offense is going to turn around, it's going to have to come from the guys they have now.

"Our guys have to hit better," Dombrowski said Friday afternoon from Target Field ahead of the Tigers' series opener against the Twins. "You can't keep going and getting players all the time. After a point, they've got to hit. They've got to do what they need to do.

"It's hard to score runs right now. We've faced some good pitching, but sometimes your other guys have to rise to the occasion too."

Andy Dirks' season-ending hamstring injury does not appear to have changed that approach. Dombrowski confirmed that they're no longer counting on Dirks' return.

"We had hoped Dirks would be back," Dombrowski said. "He's not going to be back. But the reality, is I don't know where you're going to find a bat to help your lineup. Runs are tough right now. It's hard to find hitters right now."

In August, players have to clear waivers in order to be traded, which makes deals tougher to pull off than they are in July.

The comments came on the heels' of the Tigers' 1-0 loss at Tampa Bay, where David Price threw a complete-game one-hitter in defeat thanks to an unearned run and a lack of run support by Detroit hitters against Alex Cobb and the Rays' bullpen.

August 23 in Tigers and mlb history:

1916: Ty Cobb goes from first to third on a teammate's single to LF, then swipes home when A's 3B Charlie Pick holds the ball. Detroit wins 10 - 3.

1962: Steve Boros matches the American League record for most errors in an inning by a 3B with 4, but Detroit beats Cleveland 8 - 5 as Al Kaline hits two home runs.
