Andy Dirks went 3-for-4 and hit his first career grand slam Monday versus the Astros.
If Avisail Garcia stays half as hot in the majors as he was in the minors, then a left field controversy could bloom when Austin Jackson is ready to return. Dirks, though, deserves to keep his spot against right-handers. He's hitting .317 with three homers and seven RBI in May after his rough April.
May 13 - 10:23 PM
Andy Dirks went 4-for-4 with a home run in Sunday's win over the Astros.
Dirks got off to a slow start, but it's looking like he's finally healthy after dealing with a lingering knee injury for most of the season. He'll need to continue to produce at a high level with Nick Castellanos waiting in the minors.
May 5 - 8:07 PM
Back in the starting lineup, Andy Dirks went 2-for-3 with a homer and a walk Monday against the Twins.
Dirks hadn't played in five days because of a sore right knee. Some have called for the Tigers to promote Nick Castellanos to play left field, but Dirks is going to produce as long as the team doesn't jerk him around. He should be back in there Tuesday against Vance Worley.
Apr 29 - 10:30 PM
Andy Dirks was out of the Tigers' lineup on Sunday night because of lingering soreness in his right knee.
Dirks banged the knee against a wall during spring training and hasn't felt right since. He is currently considered day-to-day. The outfielder is batting .167/.281/.188 with no homers in 17 games this season.

Austin Jackson
D.L.
Tigers placed OF Austin Jackson on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring.

Avisail Garcia was called up from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding roster move and will get regular playing time in the Detroit outfield over the next two-plus weeks. Jackson was batting .272/.333/.371 with two homers, 11 RBI, five stolen bases and 33 runs scored in 34 games.
