Possible Tigers trade might hinge on Freddy Dolsi's shoulder

The Tigers will find out today whether right-hander Freddy Dolsi's shoulder fatigue has subsided enough for him to pitch this weekend against the White Sox.

Either way, the news could have far-reaching implications.

If Dolsi is healthy, the Tigers will have a full complement of relievers for a crucial three-game series against first-place Chicago.

If the discomfort lingers, the Tigers will intensify their efforts to trade for a reliever before Thursday's non-waiver trade deadline.

Team officials have made pitching their priority while canvassing ballparks this month. The Tigers were among the 10 or more clubs that scouted Wednesday night's game between the Blue Jays and Orioles, teams that already have made pitchers available on the market.

Toronto right-hander A.J. Burnett started that game, but it's not believed the Tigers are actively pursuing him. Burnett is making $12 million this year, and the Tigers are reluctant to add to what was a $138-million payroll Opening Day.

Baltimore closer George Sherrill would be intriguing to the Tigers if Dolsi is unavailable for any length of time, but the price tag on Sherrill, a left-hander, is expected to be high.

FIRST GAME: Right-hander Ryan Perry, the Tigers' first-round pick in the June draft, made his professional debut Thursday. He pitched one inning for the Gulf Coast League Tigers and struck out the side. ... Gulf Coast League shortstop Brent Dlugach, rehabilitating from shoulder surgery, has not played in more than a week because of a sore lower back.

I think you read it wrong. They're not thinking of trading Dolsi. If Dolsi needs to go on the DL, they'll have to get another reliever.

Still, what happens if they trade him cuz he gets injured and then he beasts up for another team.

They will be unable to trade him if injured. Plus, we have guys we can call up from Toledo, if he has to go on the DL.

#1 you can't trade a guy if he's injured. Also, if they have to trade for a reliever, Dolsi won't be part of that trade. Either way, Dolsi still remains with the Tigers.
