Tigers' Ian Kinsler: Scratched due to illness Tuesday

Kinsler has been scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to flu-like symptoms, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Mike Aviles will take Kinsler's spot at second base Tuesday while Cameron Maybin moves up to take over the leadoff spot against the Phillies. Given that Kinsler is battling flu-like symptoms, his status heading into Wednesday's contest is questionable. If he's forced to sit out again Wednesday, Aviles or Andrew Romine could take over at the keystone.
