Worth noting

• Victor Martinez is set to start at catcher for only the second time this spring in Saturday's game against the Blue Jays. His other opportunity came on March 15, when he was behind the plate for three innings against the Astros.

Martinez caught three games last season while spending most of his time at designated hitter.

• Ausmus said Anibal Sanchez (right shoulder inflammation) played catch from 120 feet on Friday and remains on track to pitch in a Minor League game on Monday.

• The Tigers announced several new menu items that will debut this season at Comerica Park, including four new hot dogs: the slaw dog, the pork & beans dog, the late night dog (which includes a fried egg, bacon and cheese) and the poutine dog (with French fries, cheese curds and beef gravy).
