| July 20, 2008 Carlos Guillen has rejoined the Tigers Sunday but is available to only play in an emergency, according to MLive.com. He said his wife, Amelia, was in stable condition and expected to be released from the hospital Monday, after being admitted Tuesday for surgery to correct bleeding problems connected to the birth two weeks ago of their daughter, Camelia. Guillen added, "She's doing better. Tuesday morning, she woke up bleeding, and the doctor sent her to the hospital for surgery to stop the bleeding." |

| July 3, 2008 Carlos Guillen is likely salivating over his match-up against Seattle starter Carlos Silva tonight. Guillen demolishes Silva to the tune of a .531 average over 32 at-bats. Eight of Guillen's 17 hits off the righty are for extra bases, and he has only struck out one time against him. |
| June 26, 2008 Carlos Guillen had four hits on the night including the seventh home run of the season for the Tigers. DH Gary Sheffield also added four hits in the win including the game-winning hit in the ninth inning. |
| June 1, 2008 Tigers' manager Jim Leyland continues to be creative with his starting lineups. Carlos Guillen started in left field for the first time in his career as a way for Leyland to get Brandon Inge, Guillen and Miguel Cabrera in the lineup together. |
| June 1, 2008 Carlos Guillen is moving again. The infielder is slated to start in left field on Sunday, the Detroit Free Press reports. Guillen has never played outfield in the pros. "This is how I can get (Guillen) in the lineup if I want to play (Brandon) Inge at third," manager Jim Leyland explains. Guillen will remain the regular third baseman. |
| May 28, 2008 Carlos Guillen served as DH on Tuesday because he wasn't able to play third base. "The decision is that he can hardly move," manager Jim Leyland tells the Detroit News. "He has hemorrhoids so bad he probably shouldn't have been out there. I don't know if he's going to have them lanced or not. I talked to him about whether he could even run, but he said he was all right. At third, though, he wouldn't have been able to get down (for ground balls)." The issue has been bothering the infielder for four or five days. |
| May 25, 2008 Carlos Guillen went 3-for-4 and generated the Tigers' lone RBI on a home run in Sunday's 6-1 loss to Minnesota. |
| May 4, 2008 Manager Jim Leyland plans to shake up the Tigers lineup on Monday, although he hasn't given out any details. "Same pieces, but quite a bit different (in the order they hit)," Leyland tells the Detroit Free Press. "I think youll find it pretty drastic." |

| April 23, 2008 Detroit 1B Carlos Guillen thought he would be starting at third, then got to stay at his original position, and put it all in the rearview mirror to enjoy a wonderful evening at the plate. Guillen went 3-for-4 with one walk, hitting his his eighth double of the season with a sacrifice fly and a stolen base. |
| April 23, 2008 With Miguel Cabrera moving from 3B to DH, instead of to first as originally planned, the Tigers have put Carlos Guillen back into his natural position at first, pushing Brandon Inge into the start at third, according to The Detroit News. |
| April 23, 2008 Carlos Guillen has swapped positions with Miguel Cabrera, according to MLive. Guillen will now handle third base and Cabrera will man first base. Guillen is a former shortstop, so he is athletic enough to merit the move. |
| April 19, 2008 Carlos Guillen may have been struggling to deal with the pain, working on a shin that took not one but two foul balls last night, but it didn't affect his performance at the plate. Guillen went 3-for-4, including his seventh double of the season, bringing his seasonal average to .379. |
| April 19, 2008 Detroit 1B Carlos Guillen left last night's game against the Toronto Blue Jays after fouling two pitches off his left shin in the ninth inning, according to the Associated Press. |

| April 9, 2008 Carlos Guillen put forth a strong effort in helping his Detroit Tigers to a 7-2 win over the Boston Red Sox. Guillen went 1-for-3 with his second homer of the season, touting two walks and three runs scored on the evening. The outing brings Guillen, who has been swinging a hot bat thus far, to a batting average of .333. |
| March 31, 2008 Carlos Guillen had a strong training camp and continues to swing a hot bat as he went 3-for-5 with a solo homer on opening day against the Royals on Monday. Guillen quietly had a strong season in 2007 as he hit .296 with 21 HR and 102 RBI, and he is off to a great start. |
| March 30, 2008 Carlos Guillen kept his terrific spring going on Saturday, hitting his seventh home run of the month in a 9-4 loss to Houston. These are huge numbers from the converted shortstop. Guillen had a career-best 21 homers in 2007, and while it's difficult to imagine the 32-year old is just now finding his peak power stroke, the Tiger had a over-the-top spring. |
| March 9, 2008 Carlos Guillen crushed his third home run of the spring as he led the Tigers to an exciting 9-7 win over the Pirates. He also tripled in a run on his other hit, and now has six RBI. Guillen has been an unsung hero for the Tigers as he quietly racked up 102 RBI in 2007. |
| March 5, 2008 Carlos Guillen went 2-for-3 with a pair of homers and three RBI in a spring win over the Phillies on Wednesday. He will start at first base this year but is still eligible and most valuable as a fantasy shortstop. |
