Avila (head) said Saturday that he felt fine and that he had a symptom-free day Friday, Matthew B. Mowery of the Oakland Press reports. Despite his progress, the Tigers have decided to play it safe and hold Avila out again Saturday, but it sounds like the 27-year-old stands a fairly good chance of returning for Sunday's finale against San Francisco. James McCann will catch starter David Price on Saturday.
