	3	Jose Iglesias D.L. Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski on Wednesday officially ruled out Jose Iglesias (shins) for the 2014 season. The Tigers will receive the latest medical report on Iglesias on Wednesday, but Dombrowski conceded that the shortstop won't be an option this season regardless of the findings. "We do not plan on having Iglesias back with us this year," the GM said. Dombrowski did add that Iglesias "is progressing as projected, but we do not think he will be ready at any point this season to play." Andrew Romine and Danny Worth will continue manning short for now, but Eugenio Suarez and/or Hernan Perez could get a look eventually. Jun 4

LF	1	Andy Dirks D.L. Andy Dirks (back) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Tuesday with High-A Lakewood. Dirks has been sidelined all season following back surgery in March, but he's finally ready for game action. Barring any setbacks, he should join the Tigers shortly after the All-Star break. Jul 8

Hanrahan has been trying to build arm strength at the Tigers' spring training complex in Lakeland since agreeing to a one-year contract with the club in early May.

	10	Luke Putkonen D.L. Tigers transferred RHP Luke Putkonen from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move was made in order to clear room on the 40-man roster for the addition of Pat McCoy. Putkonen is out indefinitely after undergoing elbow surgery earlier this month. Jun 22
	11	Bruce Rondon D.L. Tigers placed RHP Bruce Rondon on the 60-day disabled list with a right elbow injury. Rondon is headed for Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery and will miss the entire 2014 regular season. Mar 29
