Tigers Lose Key Players to Injuries

0:00On April 29th, the Detroit Tigers just took a tough hit, placing shortstop Javier Baez on the 10-day injured list with a right ankle sprain and pitcher Casey Meyes on the 15-day list with a right-adductor strain. Both guys are sidelined for the next few weeks after getting hurt in Tuesday nights 5-2, lost to the Atlanta Braves. Meyes started showing signs of trouble early, feeling discomfort after a strikeout in the second inning, and then exiting after a throw to first in the. Third, he knew something was off from his body language, so the team pulled him right away to avoid making it worse. Meanwhile, Baez tweaked his ankle-sliding feet first into first base on a wild throw during his at bat. His cleat caught in the dirt as the first baseman came off the bag to snag the ball, sending him tumbling and pain. These losses sting for the Tigers, who now scramble without two core pieces in the lineup and rotation during a key stretch. Meyes brings that spark at the plate and in the field, while Meyes was building momentum on the mound.
