Yup...and definitely not happy as a far or a owner that his surgically repaired knee is so back and forth. Gonna be a long season of unexpected days off.

No, but I was by the X next to Ellsbury (who replaced Papi in the lineup). Late scratch I guess.

May 9 Granderson will get a day off on Friday, the Tigers' official site reports.

Recommendation: Manager Jim Leyland wants to go with a right-handed heavy lineup against Yankees lefty Kei Igawa. Ryan Raburn will get the start in center field.

Granderson off tonight vs the lefty.

Adam Dunn getting game one off of the double header. it's vs. Johan so you may have already benched him but it blows that, if you bench him for game one, he may go off in game two and you'll miss out.
