Darin Downs has cracked Detroit's Opening Day bullpen.
Downs posted a 0.64 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 16/3 K/BB ratio in 14 innings this spring in the Grapefruit League to earn the job. The 28-year-old lefty should do fine.
Mar 28 - 9:19 AM

Left-hander Darin Downs is up to six scoreless innings this spring after retiring three of the four Blue Jays he faced Wednesday.
Downs is likely to make the Tigers as things stand now, but that would probably change if the team goes outside the organization for a closer. As is, Phil Coke would be the favorite for saves, and since he'll often be saved for the ninth, a second lefty would be a pretty valuable piece for the pen.
Mar 6 - 4:24 PM
Tigers purchased the contract of LHP Darin Downs from Triple-A Toledo.
After 10 seasons in the minors, Downs is finally getting the call. It's a great story, as the 27-year-old southpaw has persevered after suffering a skull fracture when he was hit in the head by a line drive back in 2009. He had a quality 2.22 ERA and 33/8 K/BB ratio in 28 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level this season and will pitch in middle relief with the Tigers.
Tue, Jul 3, 2012 09:00:00 AM
The Tigers will purchase the contract of left-hander Darin Downs from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.
The Tigers got a lot of work after Doug Fister was chased early on Monday and will likely be tested again Tuesday now that Duane Below is starting in place of Max Scherzer (hamstring), so Downs provides a fresh arm. The 27-year-old southpaw has a 2.22 ERA and 33/8 K/BB ratio in 28 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level this season. He's quite the example of perseverance after suffering a skull fracture when he was hit in the head by a line drive back as a Rays' farmhand in 2009.

Austin Jackson
D.L.
Austin Jackson (hamstring) is unlikely be activated from the disabled list when he's eligible Monday.
Jackson landed on the disabled list earlier this month with a strained left hamstring, but we haven't heard much about his progress. That's probably because there's little to update, as Chris Iott of MLive.com hears that he isn't currently doing any physical activity. Fantasy owners will have to hope that changes real soon.

D.L.
Octavio Dotel (elbow) threw a bullpen session Thursday.
It's the first time he's thrown from the bump since being shut down over the last week. Dotel will eventually need a rehab assignment, but it's not clear when it will begin. He'll likely return sometime next month if all goes well.
