Detroit — While driving along a Metro Detroit thoroughfare late last spring, Shane Greene mindlessly placed his right hand against his face.
He felt numbness in his fingers.
“I couldn’t feel ‘em,” he said Thursday, speaking at Comerica Park, as the Tigers convened for three days of Winter Caravan trips and TigerFest appearances.
Greene shook off the tingle and headed for Comerica Park. But as a baseball season continued to disintegrate, mysteriously, sending him to the minors following an almost-perfect April debut for the Tigers, Greene decided trainers and doctors needed to know about those finger sensations.
