The Detroit Tigers cleared shortstop Sergio Alcantara to return from the 10-day injured list, the team announced Thursday. The Tigers put him on the injured list July 9 with an undisclosed injury.
The 24-year-old will join the 60-man player pool and take part in team workouts Thursday at Comerica Park before the 6:40 p.m. intrasquad scrimmage begins.
In 102 games for Double-A Erie last season, Alcantara hit .247 with 10 doubles, two home runs and 27 RBIs. He struck out 71 times compared to 48 walks.
