ARLINGTON -- The Tigers lost two veteran pitchers from their young staff Monday, placing starter Jordan Zimmermann and reliever Alex Wilson on the 10-day disabled list with a right shoulder impingement and left plantar fascia strain, respectively.
Zac Reininger was recalled from Triple-A Toledo to fill Wilson's bullpen role. His Mud Hens teammate, infielder Pete Kozma, was also called up, his contract purchased to give the Tigers an extra infielder while Miguel Cabrera is on the 10-day DL.
The team will skip Zimmermann's rotation spot until a fifth starter is needed next Tuesday against the Indians, at which point manager Ron Gardenhire said they could turn to their bullpen for a spot.
