The Tigers' DH threat Dmitri Young is back in baseball after a rehab stint and a tattoo session. Young went through a rough divorce in the off-season and entered a 30-day rehab program in an effort to kick his alcohol problem. He's now sworn off the juice and recently had the Alcoholics Anonymous logo tattooed on his hand (in an apparent dismissal of "anonymous").

"It was faith that got me through," Young said. "Just good old faith… I knew I was going to be OK. That's how real men deal with adversity."

Young has alot of work to do to get back into the Tigers' line-up: Marcus Thames, who essentially got his break because of Young's absence, is hitting .298 with 15 home runs and 30 RBI.
