Return of Jones, J.D. to give Tigers options

OAKLAND -- The Tigers' outfield situation figures to be in flux this week as the team readies for the returns of JaCoby Jones and J.D. Martinez from the 10-day disabled list.

Jones and Martinez hit home runs in Saturday's rehab contests. While Jones played center for Triple-A Toledo and went 2-for-4 with two RBIs, a homer, a walk and two runs scored, Martinez played seven innings in right field for Class-A Advanced Lakeland, and went 1-for-4 with a two-run shot of his own.
