Detroit Tigers' Alex Wilson could be first passenger of bullpen cart

ARLINGTON, Texas — The Detroit Tigers’ bullpen cart might have its first rider in the future.

Alex Wilson, who is on the 10-day disabled list with a left plantar fascia strain, mentioned he might give the gimmick a go when he returns from injury.

“Depends on how fast I come back,” Wilson said. “I might not be a doing a whole lot of running, so that cart might get used after all.”

Wilson mentioned the possibility as a joke to Tigers assistant general manager David Chadd. Within an earshot, general manager Al Avila’s eyes “kind of lit up a bit,” Wilson said.
