Marcus Thames ran the bases Saturday for the first time since injuring his left hamstring July 19 and is expected to run again Sunday, according to the Detroit News.

June 1, 2007
Marcus Thames started his second game in a row in place of Sean Casey at first base on Thursday, and it could be a continuing trend. “It’s an attempt to get some production in the lineup,” manager Jim Leyland told the Detroit News. “The fact of the matter is that Casey hasn’t produced anything.” Thames has four more homers and two more RBI than Casey in 90 fewer at-bats.

March 5, 2007
