Detroit Tigers send Raffy Lopez, John Mayberry Jr. to minor-league camp

LAKELAND, Fla. -- The Detroit Tigers made two more cuts Sunday afternoon following their 8-3 loss to the Houston Astros.

The Tigers sent catcher Raffy Lopez and infielder/outfielder John Mayberry Jr. to minor-league camp Sunday afternoon.

The Tigers have not announced their plans, but Lopez will likely head to Triple-A Toledo to share catching duties with Miguel Gonzalez, who was cut earlier in camp. Mayberry, an outfielder throughout most of his career, will likely be the everyday first baseman for Toledo.

How Lopez and Gonzalez perform at Toledo might be of interest to Tigers fans since one of them will be next in line to come to the big leagues during the season.
