MINNEAPOLIS — Detroit Tigers right-handed reliever Mason Englert, a Rule 5 draft pick from the Texas Rangers, wants to continue pitching.
The Tigers have identified potential arm fatigue, simply based on Englert's idiosyncrasies on the mound and obvious decline in velocity, but the 23-year-old hasn't reported an injury or asked for a trip to the injured list.
"I'll probably stay away from him today, and we'll just kind of manage it accordingly," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. "He is a tough kid. He wants to continue as normal. He's not really referencing anything (injury).
