LAKELAND, Fla. — Former Tigers shortstop Alan Trammell has started spring training on the injury report.

And you can blame Kirk Gibson, according to Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire.

Trammell, who broke his leg in a snowmobile accident, hobbled around the Tigers' facility Tuesday using a crutch.

Gardenhire threw Kirk Gibson under the bus for the mishap.
