The Detroit Tigers announced on Thursday that outfielder Victor Reyes has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 2nd, with a left intercostal strain. In his spot, the Tigers have called up center fielder extraordinaire, Derek Hill.
Reyes only returned from his demotion at the beginning of May. He appeared to pull something taking a swing in the Milwaukee Brewers series earlier in the week. So far, he’s struggled terribly at the plate this season, slashing just .157/.186/.265.
As for Hill, he’s never developed into the hitter the Tigers hoped, but the speed and defense remain excellent.
