Hamstring strain lands Kinsler on 10-day DL

CHICAGO -- The Tigers have been hit hard by their schedule this week, wrapping up the weekend with four games in the span of about 48 hours. However, their biggest blow from this two-city road trip won't be from a lack of sleep.

Detroit will be without a major cog in its lineup and middle infield, as the club placed second baseman Ian Kinsler on the 10-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain.

The club also announced that it optioned left-handed reliever Chad Bell to Triple-A Toledo. In corresponding moves, the Tigers recalled outfielder JaCoby Jones and purchased the contract of Arcenio Leon from Triple-A.
