CLEVELAND – Better late than never.
Lefty Brant Hurter, a vital piece of the Tigers' bullpen the last two seasons, was activated off the injured list Sept. 6.
"We've finally got nine relievers," manager AJ Hinch said. "We haven't had that in a while."
It was a pretty nice birthday present for Hurter, who turned 28 Sunday. He has been out since May 23 with lumbar spine inflammation. He's been healthy for several weeks but his rehab ***** ignment was extended to eight outings with Triple-A Toledo because of performance issues.
He struggled to get his velocity back over 90 mph on his sinker. But he seemed back to form in his last two outings.

The Detroit Tigers appeared to be getting close to adding Brant Hurter back to their bullpen.
Not anymore.
Detroit has pulled Hurter from his minor-league rehab ****** ignment with Triple-A Toledo, delaying the left-hander's return after a rough stretch of appearances. The good news is that Hurter has not suffered another injury, according to MLB's Jason Beck. The less encouraging part is that the Tigers don't believe he's ready to face Major League hitters yet.
Manager A.J. Hinch said Detroit wants Hurter out of games temporarily while he works on his mechanics.
"We have not shut him down completely," Hinch said, adding that the Tigers want to make sure Hurter is operating at full strength.
