Jose Alvarez allowed four runs in 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Angels on Wednesday. Alvarez had been better in his first two starts with the club, but the Angels got to him for seven hits -- including two home runs -- and a walk while striking out three. Anibal Sanchez will throw a bullpen session on Thursday and will still need at least one rehab start before returning, so Alvarez will get at least one more start with the Tigers. That start will likely come against the Blue Jays in Toronto on Monday.
