Detroit – Traumatic Tuesday.
The day started with the news that ace lefty Eduardo Rodriguez (finger) and right fielder Matt Vierling (back) were going on the injured list. Rodriguez’s absence could be lengthy, the minimum recovery time for a rupture A4 pulley is typically six weeks.
But there was more.
Riley Greene, who was honored before the game by the Detroit media as the 2022 Tiger of the Year and Rookie of the Year, left in the third inning with an apparent leg injury. The Tigers announced during the game that he had discomfort in his lower left leg.
