LAKELAND, Fla. (AP)—Detroit Tigers third baseman Brandon Inge(notes) says he’s aheadof schedule in his return from offseason knee surgery and expects to becompletely healthy by the time the regular season begins.
After revamping his swing a year ago, Inge earned a spot in the All-Stargame with a terrific first half, but he was hampered down the stretch bytendinitis in both knees and forced to have them repaired in November.
Inge spent several weeks wearing braces on both legs that stretched from hisankles to his thighs.
The 32-year-old has gone through conditioning and workouts with the team,but wont begin playing until the latter part of spring training. Tigers managerJim Leyland so far is pleased with Inge’s progress.
