  Gurriel went 1-for-2 with a solo homer and an additional RBI in Tuesday's win over the Tigers. After lining out to center field in his first at-bat, Gurriel responded with a solo homer -- his second of spring -- in his next trip to the plate. He added a sacrifice fly in his third and final plate appearance before giving way to Richard Urena at the keystone. The young infielder now has five hits through 12 at-bats this spring, including a trio of extra-base hits.

  Gurriel (hand) may be able to return Sunday, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports. Fortunately the hit-by-pitch he endured Friday resulted in just a bruise, and Gurriel is simply day-to-day. More noteworthy, however, is the fact that Devon Travis is dealing with left knee inflammation, meaning Gurriel could be the starting second baseman on Opening Day.
