Tigers activate Wilson; Zim’s return imminent

On the heels of the return of Tigers right-handed reliever Alex Wilson prior to Thursday’s series finale in Boston comes more positive news from the injury front, where five Detroit pitchers remain on the disabled list. Right-hander Jordan Zimmermann could be next to join Wilson and company, in the wake of another successful rehab outing during which he threw 72 pitches over 4 1/3 innings.
