DETROIT -- Jose Iglesias is likely to be activated off Detroits disabled list Friday, which will prompt some dexterity in the handling of the situation by Tigers manager Brad Ausmus.Iglesias was scheduled to play for Toledo on Thursday night in a final rehab game with no complications from the left hamstring strain that landed him on the disabled list two weeks back.Theres no guarantees, Ausmus said after Detroit completed a sweep of the Minnesota Twins on Thursday with an 8-5 victory. If his hamstring doesnt feel good he definitely wont be activated (Friday).Detroit hosts the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night for the start of a three-game weekend series. The Angels won the final two contests of a three-game series in Toronto -- their first road victories since July 26.Anytime you play well, you hope your team starts gathering confidence and gaining confidence, Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia said prior to Thursdays game. Thats a good club we played and we did a good job on the offensive end. You hope youre going to build confidence with some things you want to do on a regular basis.Were not always going to go out there and (score) eight runs, but we did a lot of good things.The Tigers picked up Erick Aybar, an ex-Angel, earlier this month to help provide some offense to a Detroit team that was struggling.Ausmus is likely to want to take advantage of any extra juice Aybar might get from Los Angeles letting him go to Atlanta prior to this season. The Tigers traded with the Braves to get Aybar.There is some wiggle room and Ausmus is likely to exploit that.He could shift Aybar over to third, where veteran Casey McGehee has been filling in for injured Nick Castellanos, who is likely to be out until mid-September recovering from a broken bone in his left hand. Aybar has made just a couple appearances at third in his career but wouldnt be the first shortstop to move over.Aybar hasnt played much at third, not that he couldnt handle it, Ausmus said.McGehee has supplied some hits but nothing in the way of driving in runs. He may look at matchups with the three to see which two play.Iglesias will get time at short but if Aybar is playing well, its not like were going to not play him, Ausmus said. If hes producing, hes going to play.Its just going to boil down to who we think is going to help us win. Pretty simple.Detroit brings home a four-game winning streak after taking three in Minnesota.To come into any town and sweep them, its tough to do, Ausmus said. Its just the nature of the game. But our bats started to get hot and the pitching held up.Maybe it was the start of it but Id like to seem them keep rolling. We have Anaheim coming in. Thats how this team is built, its built to slug. Our pitching is solid, especially the second half, but were built to slug and its nice to see it.Justin Verlander (13-7, 3.38 ERA) starts the first game of the series for the Tigers against the Angels Ricky Nolasco (4-11, 5.22 overall; 0-3, 5.70 for Los Angeles).Verlander lost to Los Angeles in his only start against it this season, allowing four runs on four hits in 7 1/3 innings. Over his career, the Angels have handled him for a 5-7 record and 3.77 ERA and he has given up seven home runs to them in his 15 starts.Nolasco was picked up in a deal with Minnesota with manager Scioscias team stripped of starting pitching by injuries. Hes 0-2 in three starts against Detroit this season with a 4.32 ERA.For his career, Nolasco is 2/3 with a 3.86 ERA and the times hes been successful against the Tigers, hes stayed away from his fastball.The injury bug that decimated the Angels rotation has now chomped on the bullpen.Closer Huston Street underwent surgery Tuesday on a knee that has bothered him for months and is through for the season.On Wednesday, Los Angeles learned that Cam Bedrosian, his eventual replacement who hasnt pitched since Aug. 2, has a blood clot in his upper right arm. He will see a specialist to determine the next course of action.I think any time you have a young pitcher that has an issue that is lingering, you want to make sure that you check all the boxes and make sure that everything is taken care of, Scioscia said. Youre always concerned about every player when theyre banged up.Bedrosian had a 1.12 ERA in 40 1/3 innings of relief this season with 51 strikeouts. Marc Gasol Jersey . After a replay, the winner will meet Sunderland in the quarterfinals. Sagbo did well to control Sone Alukos right cross and fire past Brighton goalkeeper Peter Brezovan. Aluko was making his first start in four months after recovering from an Achilles injury. Bryant Reeves Jersey . Cote was eligible to become a free agent Feb. 15. Cote helped running back Jon Cornish run for a league-high 1,813 rushing yards en route to being named the leagues most outstanding player. http://www.grizzliesbasketballpro.info/Allen-Iverson-Grizzlies-Jersey/ . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday. Dillon Brooks Jersey . The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast. Lorenzen Wright Jersey . But what about the officials? Every sport has officials and they also have stories about hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by anyone outside their inner circle. Nathan Buckley has been forced to sell hope for most of his tenure as Collingwood coach.Buckley remains in that same business but is upbeat 2017 will deliver a return to finals, pointing to the Magpies improved form in the second half of 2016.Buckley helped Collingwood reach a preliminary final in 2012, his first year in charge.An elimination final loss followed in 2013 and since then theres been few results for fans to get excited about.Notably the Magpies have won fewer and fewer games every year that Buckley has been coach.Probably a familiar refrain - looking forward and saying our best is good enough. Have a look at this, have a look at that and when we get these blokes back from injury, Buckley said.I feel like Ive been saying that for two or three years.2014 and 2015 we had really good starts and sort of limped to the line with injuries.This year we started poorly ... now were standing up against top-eight teams in the back half of the year.Collingwood fell one goal short of an upset win over Western Bulldogs in round 21 annd next face Gold Coast at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night.ddddddddddddBuckley implored his side to finish the season off strongly.We set ourselves from the bye to draw a line in the season. We were 4-8 at that point and had played inconsistently, he said.Weve grown. Were maturing.Were definitely playing better footy.Weve been competitive against the best sides in the comp for the most part. Weve got a couple of scalps.Buckley is unlikely to recall Travis Cloke, who booted five goals in the VFL after being dropped, and Mason Cox, who is on the cusp of returning from a shoulder injury.We went in with a smaller forward structure last week and were probably more likely to see that, he said.Buckley reiterated his support for Cloke, saying he expects him to be at the club in 2017, but forecast plenty of list changes.When you find yourself on the ladder where we are at the moment, theres got to be changes.
