It also was time for power-hitting catcher Eric Haase (.238, 19 homers and 49 RBI) to return from a right abdominal strain that had placed him on the injured list. Catcher Grayson Greiner (.236, 1 homer, 7 RBI) was the odd-man out because the Tigers are sold on recently-acquired Dustin Garneau as the backup backstop.
