After being removed from the game during a 9-6 victory against the Minnesota Twins last Friday, Niko Goodrum was placed with on the injured list with an aggravated left groin. The tweak occurred while running to first base during the third inning of that match, exacerbating an injury that first showed up during the previous Tampa Bay Rays series, causing him to miss four games as a result.
The latest news, as revealed by Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire, is that Goodrum is dealing with an adductor strain, a much less severe injury than a tear which would have been the worst case scenario.
