Detroit Tigers place Alex Faedo on 15-day injured list with right middle finger discomfort

After Tuesday's start, Detroit Tigers right-hander Alex Faedo reported tenderness in his fingernail to the medical staff and began receiving treatments.

On Saturday, four days later, the Tigers sent him to the 15-day injured list — retroactive to Wednesday — with right middle finger discomfort. The severity of his injury and the timetable for his return are unclear.

"A nail issue on the outside of his middle finger, almost like an ingrown nail," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Friday, before Faedo landed on the injured list. "As he's getting treatment, we want to be transparent that he's going through it.
