The past couple days have not been kind to the Detroit Tigers’ middle infielders. Josh Harrison suffered a hamstring injury in game action on Monday, and was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. He was diagnosed with a Grade II hamstring strain, which could leave him out for a while.
That’s not all, though. Jordy Mercer is already out with a muscle strain of his own, and left a minor league rehab assignment game on Tuesday early with quad tightness. The move was deemed “precautionary” by those in the know, but this is already the second time Mercer has been on the IL in 2019.
