Detroit — Iggy is itching — to get back, that is.
The Tigers shortstop was back in Detroit on Friday afternoon, though he won't be activated off the disabled list until before Saturday's game.
He's expected to be in the lineup for Game 2 of the series against the Angels, but any guarantees beyond that aren't happening, manager Brad Ausmus said.
Iglesias and Erick Aybar, acquired from the Atlanta Braves earlier this month, will split the shortstop duties, with the hot hand getting the majority of the starts.
"Whoever plays better is gonna play," Ausmus said matter-of-factly — and not surprisingly, given what's at stake every night for a Tigers team that remains on the outside looking in on the playoff picture, even if it made up ground nicely with a three-game sweep against the Minnesota Twins.
