Tigers' Justin Wilson: Suffering from sore elbow, but says he's good to go

Wilson is suffering from a sore elbow after pitching one inning of relief against the Yankees, reports MLive.com. He gave up a run on two hits in that outing.

Analysis:

He doesn't think it's of any concern -- team trainers have worked to loosen it up and Wilson is convinced the bit of rest has been good for it. Manager Brad Ausmus also isn't concerned and acknowledged that he was prepared to use Wilson as a closer Wednesday over Francisco Rodriguez. Ausmus didn't need to pull that trigger with his team down heading into the later innings. Still, Wilson could see late-inning work soon enough and that could be good enough for a speculative waiver bid this week.
