After making four roster moves before Friday's game, the Detroit Tigers announced four new moves leading up to Saturday's clash with the Minnesota Twins, including the return of outfielder Nomar Mazara from the 10-day injured list.

To make room for Mazara, outfielder Victor Reyes was optioned to Triple-A Toledo.

The Tigers placed right-hander Erasmo Ramirez — called up Friday — on the 10-day injured list with a right pectoralis strain. As Ramirez's replacement, right-hander Joe Jimenez, the team's former closer, was recalled from Toledo.

Mazara went to the injured list April 15 with a left abdominal strain. He rehabbed in Lakeland, Florida, home of the team's spring training facility, before making rehabilitation starts in Toledo. He went 2-for-12 (.167) with one home run, two RBIs, one walk and two strikeouts in three games for the Mud Hens.
