Tigers hope Ian Kinsler's trip to DL will finally heal pesky hamstring

"We just made a decision that we need to get rid of this thing once and for all," Ausmus said. "We can't let this thing linger and linger. We need to DL him, rest him, get treatment for 10 days and hopefully it's behind us for the rest of the season."
