brown back to bigs, herndon recalled

Quaint Henley Field in Lakeland, Florida, was spring training home for the Detroit Tigers until the mid-1960's. The Tigers now train at Joker Marchant Park and Henley Field is on the National Register of Historic Sites.

Well, well, well. The morning after telling everyone Domonic Brown would not be called up, Ruben Amaro Jr. called the kid up. Shane Victorino is officially on the DL. Scott Mathieson was optioned to Triple A and David Herndon recalled to take his place in the bullpen. Domonic Brown will not, however, be starting tonight against the Rangers' lefty C.J. Wilson. Next move: Worley for Blanton come Tuesday?
