Tigers Notes: Tigers? Hardy perplexed by opponents? power surge. McCann update, Consider Infante? Around the Horn.
Detnews

Blaine Hardy has never been a home-run pitcher, it?s never been an issue with him. And yet, he?s allowed three in his last six outings.
To put it in perspective, Hardy faced 544 batters from 2014 through 2016, 126 innings, and allowed five home runs. This season, he?s faced 67 hitters in 15 innings and allowed four.

Doctors told McCann to keep his blood pressure down in fear the stitches might not hold, so he couldn?t even work out.

Manager Brad Ausmus said Monday the Tigers did discuss the possibility of purchasing the contract of Omar Infante from Toledo when Ian Kinsler (hamstring) went on the disabled list over the weekend.
The decision came down to Infante or Presley. The Tigers ultimately decided to add Presley and JaCoby Jones to bolster the outfield and use Andrew Romine and Dixon Machado to fill in for Kinsler.

Miguel Cabrera was three extra-base hits short of 1,000 as he entered play Monday. He will soon become the 39th player in history to produce 1,000 extra-base hits.
He would also become the fourth active player to reach 1,000 extra-base hits, joining Albert Pujols (1,221), Adrian Beltre (1,072) and Carlos Beltran (1,051).
