The numbers on Joel Zumaya from his rehab outing with Triple-A Toledo Wednesday night look pretty similar to Tuesday with a scoreless inning and two strikeouts. He gave up a hit this time, a two-out double down the left-field line off a mid-90s fastball, but ended the threat with a called third strike on Chris Barnwell.

Zumaya threw 13 of his 18 pitches for strikes.

"Tigers reliever Joel Zumaya pitched a scoreless seventh inning tonight for Triple-A Toledo and declared afterward that he is "ready" to return to the major leagues.

"I'm about ready now," the hard-throwing reliever said. "I'm about 100%. I've been throwing the ball 100%.

"Hopefully I'm up there (in the big leagues). Hopefully you guys (in Toledo) don't see me down here again. I'm ready, man. It's been a little road … I'm going to be up there. I'm going to be happy to see the guys."

"I'm ready to face those Yankees," he said. "I know they're coming to town."

Tigers president/general manager Dave Dombrowski said before tonight's game in Anaheim, Calif., that team officials would wait until Thursday morning to make a decision.

I like the confidence and all, but I don't see him doing well against the Yankees right now.
