Milwaukee — Christin Stewart got a hard lesson in how quickly you can go from way up to way down at this level of professional baseball.
The Tigers rookie left fielder got three hits, walked and drove in a run Thursday night in Minnesota. On Friday, he learned that his first taste of big-league life, in all probability, is over. The Tigers announced before the game that Stewart had a lower abdominal strain.
It's similar to the injury that ended shortstop Jose Iglesias' season earlier this month.
“I don’t know, it was random,” said Stewart, fighting his emotions and trying to be careful with his words.
