Inge recalled by Tigers, will start Sunday
Posted: 04/13/2012
CHICAGO (WXYZ) - Brandon Inge is moving on up.
The Tigers officially called up Inge from their Triple-A affiliate after a brief rehab stint with the Mud Hens. The team also recalled Adam Wilk to start Saturday's game on the mound.
Detroit sent infielder Danny Worth and pitcher Brayan Villarreal to the minor league affiliate after the White Sox 5-2 win over the Tigers Friday afternoon.
Inge started the season on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left groin.
Manager Jim Leyland said Inge will be in the team's starting lineup Sunday against Chicago.
In three games this season, Worth was 1-for-5. Villarreal was brought up Sunday after Doug Fister was sent to the disabled list Saturday.
