Well, the timing couldn’t have been much worse. With at least a few weeks left until reinforcements arrive off the injured list, the Detroit Tigers had to add two players to the list on Tuesday. LHP Eduardo Rodriguez was moved to the 15-day injured list with a pulley rupture of his left index finger. OF Matt Vierling was also moved to the 10-day injured list with lower back soreness.
Not ideal.
Rodriguez is currently expected to miss only two starts, with his injured list stint retroactively started on Monday. He apparently suffered the injury toward the end of his outing against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.
