Chamberlain (ankle) stated that he'll be available for Monday's contest in Oakland, Chris Iott of MLive.com reports.

Analysis:

After seeming to injure his right ankle during an attempt to cover first base Sunday, Chamberlain was removed and eventually diagnosed with a contusion to the region. If he takes the mound, he'll likely post steady strikeout numbers, as he boasts a 25:6 K:BB in 20.1 innings in his first season with the Tigers.
