Tigers call up Kozma to provide infield depth

CLEVELAND -- Shortstop Jose Iglesias may have played his last game in a Tigers uniform.

Though he received a cortisone shot on Wednesday, Iglesias was transferred to the 60-day disabled list on Friday afternoon to make room for infielder Pete Kozma, who was recalled from Triple-A Toledo. The move was announced prior to the opener of a three-game series against the American League Central-leading Indians at Progressive Field. Iglesias was placed on the 10-day DL on Aug. 30 with a lower abdominal strain and he did not travel with the team, according to manager Ron Gardenhire.
