| Baltimore, MD (MySportsbook) - The Detroit Tigers activated outfielder Magglio Ordonez from the 15-day disabled list prior to Thursday's 6-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles.

The outfielder appeared to pull up as he chased after Troy Tulowitzki's lead-off double, and went on the disabled list the next day with a strained right oblique.
