The Detroit Tigers announced Sunday they placed designated hitter Victor Martinez on the disabled list with an irregular heartbeat.
"You don't mess around with the heart," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said of the decision, per ESPN.com. "We're not talking about a sprained ankle or something minor like that. This is something you take very serious because it could be life-threatening. That's what we're going to do. I don't know what's going to happen going forward."
This is another setback after Martinez was hospitalized and placed on the disabled list earlier in the season with an irregular heartbeat.
