Alex Avila is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Astros.
The struggling backstop will take a seat with the day game after the night game. Brayan Pena will start behind the plate.

MLB Lineups on Twitter
Alex Avila smashed a game-winning two-run homer in the ninth inning, leading the Tigers to a 4-3 win over the Astros on Friday.
Avila had been hitless in three trips on the night before victimizing Jose Veras for the game-winner in the ninth inning. He’s off to an absolutely brutal start offensively, hitting just .179/.247/.333 with four homers and five RBI on the season, but for at least one night he gets to play the role of hero.

Alex Avila is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Twins.
He's taking a seat with the day game after the night game. Brayan Pena will start behind the plate.
May 1 - 10:55 AM
Source:
Jason Beck on Twitter
Alex Avila was benched for two games of the Tigers' three-game sweep of the Braves, and is hitting just .169/.229/.262 on the season.
Avila is batting an absurd .140/.196/.140 across 46 plate appearances since last going deep on April 9. Backup Brayan Peña isn't hitting any better (.222/.250/.259), but Avila is on the spot after slumping to a .243/.352/.384 slash in 2012. The good news is, his troublesome knees have yet to be an issue. Avila deserves more time both in AL-only leagues and two-catcher mixed formats, but it wouldn't be panicking to start considering contingencies.

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.
