Tigers keep Austin Jackson on bench

Tigers outfielder Austin Jackson, who had an injury scare Saturday against the Indians when he crashed into the wall attempting to track down Carlos Santana's eventual inside-the-park HR, could not start Sunday's game for Detroit, MLB.com reports. The Tigers are giving Jackson a day to recuperate even though he didn't leave Saturday's game.

Jackson is batting .270 this year for Detroit with 11 homers and 38 RBI over 444 at-bats. That said, he's gone 19 for 53 (.358) over his last 13 games with two homers and 10 RBI.
