Tigers' Cameron Maybin: Day-to-day with strained back

Maybin, who is not in Monday's lineup, is considered day-to-day with a back strain, George Sipple of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Analysis:

Maybin was held out of action Sunday, and he'll miss a second straight contest Monday while battling tightness and discomfort in his back. The Tigers will take a wait-and-see approach to the issue; for now, the hope is that he'll only miss a few days and avoid a DL stint.
