    The injuries to Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Guillen added to a disastrous week for the Detroit Tigers.

    Ordonez fractured his right ankle sliding into home plate in the third inning of Saturday night's 3-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays and Guillen strained his right calf two innings later, raising to three the number of starters Detroit has lost in six days.

    Third baseman Brandon Inge, whom Ordonez and Guillen joined on the 15-day disabled list Sunday, broke a bone in his left hand Monday when he was hit by a pitch against the Texas Rangers. Ordonez is expected to miss six to eight weeks.

    The Tigers, who went into Sunday's day-night doubleheader against Toronto third in the AL Central 2½ games back behind the Chicago White Sox, will be playing without their regular right fielder, second baseman and third baseman. Ordonez batted third in the order, Guillen was sixth and Inge seventh.
