Tigers manager Jim Leyland said he expected the club to make a couple roster moves in the near future.

That day has arrived.

The Tigers activated third baseman Brandon Inge on Thursday from the 15-day disabled list and he is expected to be with the club on Friday when it opens a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

To make room, the Tigers optioned infielder Danny Worth to Triple-A Toledo.

Inge, who missed 20 games with mononucleosis, went 7-for-28 with two homers in a seven-game Minor League rehabilitation stint. He is hitting .211 with one homer and 12 RBIs in 52 games in Detroit.

Detroit also sent left-handed pitcher Adam Wilk to Toledo following Wednesday night's game and announced that right-handed reliever Ryan Perry would be recalled from the Mud Hens prior to Friday night’s series opener.

Perry has a 12.19 ERA, allowing 14 runs, 17 hits and nine walks over 10 1-3 innings. He struck out 16 and walked three in 16 innings pitched in Toledo.

The club could continue its roster shakeup as left-hander Brad Thomas is likely nearing the end of his rehab stint in Triple-A. Thomas, who has been on the disabled list since May 11 with left elbow inflammation, has a 1.50 ERA in six innings pitched for the Mud Hens.
