Baltimore — The Tigers never expected Jordy Mercer and Josh Harrison to play all 162 games this season.

But 12?

The club got more bad news regarding its veteran double-play combination Wednesday. They’ve only played 12 games together this season, all in April, and don’t look for either one of them to play again any time soon.

Mercer, who is serving his second stint on the injured list with a right quad injury, had another MRI Wednesday after he felt soreness in the leg Tuesday night. The MRI showed an acute-on-chronic muscle strain.
