Jason Isringhausen (Rays):
RHP Jason Isringhausen made an appearance in the clubhouse Thursday and sounded less certain about whether he'll try to pitch again than his agent, Dan Horwits, did last week.
Isringhausen suffered a season-ending tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow June 13 and underwent Tommy John surgery Tuesday. He faces about a year of rehab.
The former elite closer with the Cardinals and A's is 36 years old and has had 10 operations. He said he would have had the surgery regardless of whether he planned to pitch again, "just to be normal again and play catch with my kids."
Isringhausen said he'll see how rehab goes, and if he doesn't come back, he might become baseball coach at a Catholic high school he's helping open outside St. Louis.

Cesar Izturis (Orioles):
Cesar Izturis (appendicitis) has been cleared to increase his baseball-related activities, but manager Dave Trembley would not speculate on when he'll go out on an injury rehabilitation assignment.
"I think you'll know he's getting close when he goes out on the field with the team and takes batting practice and works out with us,'' Trembley said.

Placido Polanco (Tigers):
Only one of Detroit's walks Friday came around to score. It was Curtis Granderson's two-out pass with Adam Everett on second that extended the second inning for Placido Polanco to power a three-run homer for a 4-0 lead. Zumaya's walks Friday drove in the tying run with one out and set up the sacrifice fly off Freddy Dolsi to plate the go-ahead tally. The lone hit in Houston's rally was the one-out single from Kazuo Matsui that started it.
