The Tigers may be getting back Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez as soon as Sunday.
Cabrera is returning from ankle surgery, and Martinez is recovering from knee surgery.
Both players will run the bases on Saturday, and, depending on how they do, manager Brad Ausmus is considering putting them in Sunday's lineup.
"The final hurdle in terms of them getting into a game on the big league side would be running the bases and them being fine with that," Ausmus said, per MLive's Chris Iott. "It depends on today."
The Tigers have split squad games on Sunday, so both Cabrera and Martinez could play DH. Or the team could have them play in a minor league game and not run the bases.
