Cespedes Back in Starting Lineup

Monday, March 16

"Yoenis Cespedes (left quad) and Alex Avila (lower back soreness) are both back in Tigers' starting lineup today," announced James Schmehl of MLive.com.

Jason Beck of MLB.com first revealed on March 12 that Cespedes was taken out with tightness in his left quadriceps and officially listed as day-to-day:

The Tigers are already without Victor Martinez, who underwent knee surgery in February that is expected to keep him out for most, if not all, of spring training and an early part of the regular season. 

Cespedes was acquired from Boston during the offseason to provide additional support in the lineup for Martinez and Miguel Cabrera.

Cespedes has battled injuries throughout his career, playing more than 135 games only once, so the Tigers should still be cautious with the 29-year-old despite already returning to the lineup.
