Victor Martinez (knee surgery) has been off crutches for 10 days.
Martinez had microfracture surgery on his left knee in late January and underwent a procedure in early March to help the healing of his ACL. V-Mart can't afford any setbacks, but he's encouraged about the possibility of returning in September. We should know more about his status when he undergoes an MRI during a check-up in July.

Updating a previous item, Victor Martinez underwent a procedure last week to help the healing of the ACL in his left knee.
V-Mart was originally expected to undergo ACL reconstruction on the knee, but Dr. Richard Steadman ultimately opted for a less serious procedure. The Tigers estimate that the 33-year-old will need approximately seven months to recover from January microfracture surgery, so there's a chance he could be ready for baseball activities in late-August or September if all goes well. It's an interesting possibility, but we won't know more about his status until he undergoes a follow-up MRI in July.

Tom Gage of the Detroit News reports that there's "new hope" Victor Martinez could return later this season because he didn't need ACL reconstructive surgery on his left knee.
Very interesting. V-Mart had microfracture surgery on his left knee in late-January and was scheduled to undergo ACL reconstructive surgery last week, but apparently the damage wasn't as extensive as originally believed. While this is encouraging news, we likely won't know more about he undergoes an MRI until sometime in July. Setbacks from microfracture surgery are also common, so the Tigers certainly won't count on him.

Victor Martinez is scheduled to undergo ACL reconstructive knee surgery this week.
V-Mart had microfracture surgery in February and is now ready for his second scheduled procedure. The 33-year-old has already been ruled out for all of 2012. And his recovery could linger into the 2013 campaign.

Austin Jackson
D.L.
Austin Jackson underwent an MRI on Friday which confirmed the Tigers' diagnosis of an abdominal strain.
"Nothing different from what the medical people predicted, which was a sigh of relief," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland. Jackson will remain in Detroit over the weekend to rehab the injury and could meet up with the team in Boston early next week. It's not clear if he'll need a brief rehab stint, but it's possible he could be ready as soon as he's eligible next weekend against the Yankees. Quintin Berry and Don Kelly should share playing time in center field during his absence.

AN MRI taken Wednesday on Daniel Schlereth's ailing left shoulder showed no structural damage.
Good news. Schlereth is already performing range of motion exercises and should soon be cleared to resume throwing. He's been on the disabled list since late April.

Al Alburquerque (elbow) has begun long-tossing at the Tigers' spring training facility in Florida.
Alburquerque is throwing from 150 feet, and if he continues to be progress should be cleared to throw off a mound before long. The Tigers are hoping to get the hard-throwing reliever back around the All-Star break.
