Detroit Tigers Sweep Minnesota Twins Behind Another Big Offensive Performance.
Tigers101
 
The Tigers announced this morning that right-hander Jordan Zimmermann will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Friday.
Zimmermann has pitched for Detroit just once since June 30, lasting just 1 2/3 innings in his lone start back from a neck strain that sidelined him for the entire month of July.
After that abbreviated return, Zimmermann went back on the DL with a lat strain, but he?ll look to make his return to the Tigers early next month.
A healthy Zimmermann would be a breath of fresh air for Detroit, as the team currently sits just three games back from a Wild Card spot and 5.5 back from the division-leading Indians.
 
August 26 in Tigers and mlb history:

1923 - Ty Cobb hits his 46th and final inside-the-park home run.

1957 - Yankee-killer Frank Lary stops New York as Detroit wins 5 - 2. RF Al Kaline is the hitting star with his 17th homerun, a three run bomb to deep leftfield.

1966: Detroit's Earl Wilson, winner of six straight, hits an 8th-inning homer to give himself a 5 - 3 lead over New York. But the Yankees batting against reliever Hank Aguirre in the 9th, tally one run on a Clete Boyer single, and win it 6 - 5, when Mickey Mantle clouts a pinch homer just over a leaping Al Kaline in RF. The win still leaves New York (57-72) in last place.

1984 - In Anaheim, the Tigers use the long ball to beat the Angels 12 - 6. Kirk Gibson has two homers and four runs scored, Marty Castillo hits a homer and scores three times, and Chet Lemon belts the first grand slam of his career. Tommy John goes just 2 2/3 inning in losing to Milt Wilcox (15-7). Detroit leads the AL East by 12 games.

HOW DO TIGERS RANK IN INTANGIBLES?
It's no secret J.D. Martinez can mash, but where does he rank when it comes to power? And is Jose Iglesias' plate discipline the worst on our list?
Dan Szymborski breaks it down. Ranking "intangible" tools (EspnInsider).
