Detroit – The Tigers got through the first couple of weeks of this truncated season without much adversity — no new COVID-19 cases, few injuries and a lot of wins.
Suddenly, though, the fortunes have turned. The club made two rather ominous announcements before the game Saturday.
u25baFirst baseman C.J. Cron, who went on the injured list last Monday, elected to have surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left knee. He will be lost for the season.
u25baStarting pitcher Ivan Nova, who gave up six runs in the fourth inning Friday, was put on the 10-day injured list with triceps tendinitis.
