Iglesias played a full nine-inning game Saturday for the first time this spring, MLive.com reports.

Analysis:

He's scheduled for a day of rest Sunday, but Iglesias is progressing toward playing in back-to-back full games Monday and Tuesday. It would hardly be surprising to see the Tigers give him regular days off when the regular season begins, but Iglesias is expected to handle the bulk of the playing time at shortstop. Iglesias has gone 4-for-38 (.105) at the plate this spring, but he's chipped in three steals while striking out just three times.
