News: Thames returned from a seven-week absence due to a rib injury suffered in April on Sunday. He went 2-for-5 with a pair of singles while playing DH and hitting fifth in a 9-6 win over the Angels.
Analysis: Thames should see plenty of at-bats as the Tigers' DH, especially when the opposing team has a lefty on the hill. He doesn't hit for much average, but AL-only leagues in need of a bump in power should look Thames' direction.

News: Thames (ribs) is expected to resume batting practice this week, Mlive.com reports.
Analysis: Trainer Kevin Rand expects Thames to start a minor league rehab appearance soon, which means he could be back in the next week or two. With Clete Thomas and Jeff Larish both providing a punch from the left side of the plate, Thames could be limited to seeing action against southpaws when he returns.
