| Matt Tuiasosopo accepting of role |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(4/28/13) Tigers outfielder Matt Tuiasosopo has started three of the last five games, including two straight, in left field for Detroit. While he's batting .320 through 15 games, Tuiasosopo usually starts against left-handed starters, which is a role he's accepted.
"I want to be in there and play, but I know my role, I know what it is," Tuiasosopo said, per MLive.com. "Skip makes the moves he's going to make and I just try to do my best job whenever I'm in there -- whether they bring in a righty and let me hit, or when I'm facing lefties."

| Matt Tuiasosopo doesn't disappoint in first start |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(4/8/13) Tigers outfielder Matt Tuiasosopo made his first start of the season in left field Sunday against the Yankees. Amid 17 mile-per-hour winds, manager Jim Leyland was pleased with how well the 26-year-old outfielder handled the situation, per the Detroit Free Press.
"I'm happy with him," Leyland said of Tuiasosopo's performance overall, which included going 2 for 3 with a walk. "I left him in there that one inning, in case you're wondering, because the ball was going to left and it wasn't going anywhere to right. I was just hoping, with a guy on or two guys on, he might run into one. Get one up in the wind, you've got a three-spot or a two-spot."

| Tigers always wanted Matt Tuiasosopo |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(3/28/13) Tigers outfielder Matt Tuiasosopo has won a spot on the opening day roster, but according to general manager Dave Dombrowski, he tried to acquire Tuiasosopo late last season when the team needed a right-handed bat, according to MLive.com.
"We tried to get him and we couldn't acquire him," Dombrowski said. "He was one of the guys at the top of our list for this role on our team."
Tuiasosopo, who signed a minor-league deal in the offseason, will be a bench option for the Tigers after batting .302 (16 for 53) with four homers, six doubles and 10 RBI in his first 27 spring games.
