Torii Hunter hit a three-run homer in the Tigers' win over the Royals on Saturday night. The ageless outfielder is now batting .303 with an .850 OPS, four homers, and 16 RBI in 22 games played.

Torii Hunter had a big night at the plate in Friday's victory over his former club, going 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles, two runs scored and two RBI. Hunter, who roamed the outfield in Minnesota for the first 11 seasons of his career, delivered a two-run single to cap off the damage in the seven-run third inning. The 38-year-old is off to another strong start, slashing .284/.314/.493 with three homers and 12 RBI in his first 17 contests.

Torii Hunter is not in the Tigers' lineup Wednesday. It's just a routine day of rest. Don Kelly is handling right field in Hunter's place Wednesday.

Torii Hunter had a double and a run scored in the Tigers' loss to the Padres on Sunday. Hunter doubled and scored the team's only run against Tyson Ross and the Padres bullpen. The outfielder is hitting .267 with a .967 OPS through 10 games. There's still some life in his 38-year-old bat.

Torii Hunter (knee) is back in the Tigers' starting lineup on Saturday against the Padres. Hunter sat out a couple games after bruising his left knee while trying to make a sliding catch in foul territory on Tuesday night. He is batting third and starting in right field against the Padres' Ian Kennedy.

Torii Hunter (knee) remains out of the Tigers starting lineup on Friday. Don Kelly will draw the start in right field in his absence. Hunter is available to pinch-hit in the ballgame and should be in Saturday's lineup.

Torii Hunter (knee) is not in the Tigers' lineup against the Dodgers on Wednesday. Hunter left Tuesday's game with a left knee contusion, and the Tigers are playing it safe with the 38-year-old. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said he may be available as a pinch hitter, which bodes well for his availability in the coming days.

Torii Hunter is considered day-to-day after leaving Tuesday's game against the Dodgers with a left knee contusion. Hunter slid into the right field wall awkwardly and remained down for a bit. He eventually jogged back to his position but was eventually removed from the game. However, it sounds like he'll be fine. With a day off Thursday, it would be a surprise if the Tigers gave him a breather Wednesday.

Torii Hunter hit his third home run of the season in the Tigers' loss to the Orioles on Sunday. It was Hunter's only hit of the game, and it provided the Tigers' only run of the game. The veteran outfielder is off to a scorching start this year, batting .300 with a 1.164 OPS and seven RBI in five games played.

Torii Hunter hit fifth Wednesday and went 2-for-3 with a double against the Phillies. Unfortunately, he was caught stealing after both hits (the first was a pickoff). For some reason, Hunter has tried six steals (well, five plus the pickoff) this spring, through just two were successful. He hadn't tried more than two steals in any spring in at least nine years. Hunter hitting fifth today was a surprise; he's been batting second all spring. It sounds like Brad Ausmus will keep experimenting with the non-Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez spots in the lineup into April.
