CLEVELAND — The injury bug bites again (and again).
The Detroit Tigers have two right-handed pitchers — starter Alex Faedo and reliever Kyle Funkhouser — set to visit medical specialists for their injuries. Faedo has discomfort in his right hip, while Funkhouser has missed the entire season with reoccurring pain in his right latissimus dorsi and shoulder.
"He's stopped his throwing program for the time being," Hinch said of Funkhouser's situation. "We're anticipating it being a longer issue once he see more doctors. That's not great news."
Faedo pitched Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals, allowing four runs on four hits and four walks with two strikeouts in 1u2154 innings.
