Ryan Raburn went 2-for-4 and hit his fifth homer Saturday against the Cardinals. Raburn is 10-for-21 with five homers and 15 RBI. He should have second base pretty much to himself for the Tigers in the early going. Still, we're not exactly expecting big things from the veteran. He is a decent enough power hitter, but his batting average and OBP will likely leave plenty to be desired.

Ryan Raburn went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Nationals. Raburn smacked a two-run homer off Edwin Jackson in the top of the first inning and later added an RBI single in the fifth. He is now batting .467 (6-for-15) with four homers and 15 RBI this spring. Brandon Inge looms as a threat for playing time at second base, but we would much prefer Raburn from a fantasy perspective.

Ryan Raburn had a two-run homer and an RBI double as the Tigers and Phillies played to a 4-4 tie in 10 innings Sunday. The homer came off Cliff Lee and the double off Jonathan Papelbon, so Raburn certainly wasn't feasting off lesser lights today. He was already being penciled in at second base for the Tigers before the spring began, and he's only aided his cause by hitting .500 with three homers and 11 RBI to date.

Ryan Raburn hit two of the Tigers' nine homers Sunday as Detroit steamrolled Atlanta 18-3. The Tigers again used all of their regulars, and every one of them homered except for Miguel Cabrera and Andy Dirks. Danny Worth came off the bench to hit the last homer, joining Alex Avila, Brennan Boesch, Prince Fielder, Delmon Young, Jhonny Peralta and Austin Jackson in leaving the yard.

The Tigers plan to go into the season with Ryan Raburn and Ramon Santiago as their second base platoon, according to MLB.com's Jason Beck. Raburn is entering the second half of a two-year contract signed last winter and will be used primarily at second base with Santiago this season. His share of the playing time remains in question. The Tigers agreed to a minor league contract with journeyman Eric Patterson earlier this week and could view Patterson as insurance if they decide not to make any upgrades through free agency.

Ryan Raburn and Brandon Inge will be in Detroit's starting lineup for Game 6 of the ALCS. The news comes as no surprise given starter Derek Holland's ineffectiveness against right-handed lineups. Raburn is batting .333 with two home runs and 5 RBI this postseason. Inge has fared well in limited action this series, going 4-of-8 with a .442 slugging-percentage.

Ryan Raburn provided the Tigers entire offense in Game 2 of the ALCS, going 1-for-3 with one home run and 3 RBI. The Tigers simply couldn't put anything together on offense, going 8-for-35 (.229) with four extra base hits. The bottom of their lineup remains an area of concern going forward with Alex Avila slumping and Andy Dirks proving to be ineffective both offensively and on defense.

Ryan Raburn went 4-for-5 with a home run, double and three RBI on Monday, helping the Tigers to a 14-4 rout of the White Sox. Raburn was one of four Tigers with at least two RBI. Entering this evening, Raburn he been just 2-for-13 in the month of September. He's too inconsistent to be playing in mixed leagues down the stretch.

Ryan Raburn (finger) went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored Tuesday in his return to the lineup. Raburn sat out Sunday and Monday with a jammed right ring finger. He has predictably performed better during the second half, but could lose some playing time once Carlos Guillen (wrist) returns from the disabled list.

Ryan Raburn returned to action on Tuesday August 30.
