Here’s the latest Detroit Tigers news from the Twitter as the team gets ready to start a road series against the Tampa Bay Rays.
In major news, Miguel Cabrera is apparently already taking batting practice and could return in a few weeks.

Based on that timetable, it appears Miguel Cabrera could be ready to rejoin #Tigers around mid-August. So, basically, two weeks.

In other news, Rajai Davis isn’t going anywhere.
Just spoke to Rajai Davis. No trade, guys. At least, not right now or not one he’s aware about. He didn’t even know what ruckus was about. — James Schmehl (@jamesschmehl) July 27, 2015
David Price and the Tigers are confident in their chances.
David Price says Tigers players feel like they still control their fate as buyers or sellers at Friday’s trade deadline.

Also, Buck Farmer is replacing Shane Greene in the rotation. Greene will move to the bullpen.
Pretty big news: #Tigers are moving Shane Greene to the bullpen. Buck Farmer will fill his spot in the rotation.

Buck Farmer is able to pitch out of the bullpen the next couple days, but is scheduled to fill Shane Greene’s turn and start on Friday.

Ausmus said they can control matchups with Greene out of bullpen, work on getting him going again. So not necessarily innings-eating.

There are also a number of scouts at the Tigers/Rays game.
Lot of scouts at Tigers-Rays tonight, from both buyers and sellers.
