Worth noting

• Jose Iglesias took more ground balls at shortstop during pregame batting practice Tuesday. However, Leyland said Iglesias is still struggling to grip a bat with his bruised left hand. He'll have to do that before he's cleared to return to the lineup. Leyland mentioned nothing about potentially using him as a defensive substitute.

• Matt Tuiasosopo credited his work with Tigers coach Tom Brookens and his repetitions in left with his recent improvement in left field. The converted infielder made a leaping catch in the gap and a diving catch down the left-field line in the same game last weekend, and he tracked down a tricky drive to left that curved on him Monday night.
