The Detroit Tigers are giving one of their up-and-coming infielders an opportunity, as right-hander Jose Urena was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Thursday, with a right forearm strain, the team announced Saturday.
To fill Urena's roster spot, the Tigers recalled infielder Zack Short from Triple-A Toledo.
Urena, 29, was removed from Wednesday's 1-0 win over Cleveland with two outs in the sixth inning. He was initially diagnosed with lower right forearm cramping. Neither Urena nor Tigers manager AJ Hinch seemed to think the injury was serous.
