Detroit – It was just a couple of weeks ago on a Zoom video chat that veteran right-hander Jordan Zimmermann said his lone goal for 2020 was to get through the season injury-free.
Goal denied.
Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said Saturday that Zimmermann will be placed on the 45-day injured list. He was scratched from his scheduled intrasquad start Friday after feeling tightness in his right forearm.
“He’s going to go through a rehab,” Gardenhire said. “He’d play catch a couple of times and felt fine and then it started to get sore.
