| Detroit, MI (MySportsbook) - The Detroit Tigers put veteran reliever Todd Jones back on the disabled list on Sunday, just two days after he was activated from the DL. Jones had been sidelined since July 31 with inflammation in his right shoulder, and was ripped for five runs -- none earned -- on three hits in two- thirds of an inning during Friday's 11-2 loss to the Indians. He returned to the DL on Sunday, this time with a sore right shoulder. The 40-year-old right-hander lost his job as Detroit's closer |

| Detroit, MI (MySportsbook) - Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Scott Downs left Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers in the bottom of the ninth inning with an apparent ankle injury. As Downs was backing up third base on a Magglio Ordonez single, he slipped and went down favoring his right ankle. After the trainers came out it was obvious the lefty had to come out of the game. Brandon League came in for the injured Downs, who entered the game 0-2 with a 1.25 ERA in 53 relief appearances. |
