Haven't updated in a while due to a lack of playing time. Been on an Elder Scrolls Online kick lately, and Borderlands 3 came out, so that's taken my limited playing time. But here we go.
Tigers Place Jarrod Dyson on 60-Day IL
Despite winning the first two games of the three-gane series against Cleveland, it wasn't all good for the Tigers. Game Two saw an impressive pitching duel between Cleveland's Corey Kluber and Detroit's Matthew Boyd that resulted in a 1-0 victory for the Tiger's. Detroit scored their lone run in the fifth inning when Jarrod Dyson stole second after drawing an eleven-pitch walk. Victor Reyes knocked him with a sharp single to right-center field. It was this play that was bittersweet for Dyson and the Tigers. Dyson's forearm collided with the shin of Cleveland catcher Francisco Mejia, and he came out of the game in immense pain.
X-rays after the game showed that Dyson fractured his arm on that play, and is expected to miss 2-3 months of time. A blow to Detroit for sure. Dyson was slashing .353/.405/.676 with 3 doubles, 1 triple, 2 homeruns and 6 runs batted in in his 34 at-bats to begin the season. Walking three times and striking out only four, Dyson also contributed 4 stolen bases to the team. Victor Reyes is expected to take over in center field while Dyson is out, and outfielder Kenny Wilson has been called up from AAA to be a fourth outfielder.
Wilson has only had four at-bats in AAA so far this season with two hits and an RIB, but the 29-year old slashed .284/.351/.374 with 12 doubles, 1 triple and 10 runs batted in last year in 155 at-bats for the Tigers, so they're hoping for similar production as a reserve in Dyson's absence.
