Tigers place closer Kenley Jansen on the 15-day injured list with pelvic inflammation
Detroit recalled left-hander Drew Sommers after Jansen left Wednesday’s win with an apparent groin injury and leads the team with 7 saves.
- On Thursday, the Detroit Tigers placed closer Kenley Jansen on the 15-day injured list with pelvic inflammation after he exited Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels in the ninth inning.
- Jansen exited Wednesday's game after nine pitches, signaling for trainers following a walk to Mike Trout, having previously managed a right groin issue this season.
- The 38-year-old closer ranks third in MLB history with 483 career saves and has recorded seven saves with a 4.80 ERA over 18 appearances since signing a one-year, $11 million contract in December.
- To replace Jansen, the Tigers recalled left-hander Drew Sommers from Triple-A Toledo, with manager A.J. Hinch saying, "In the short-term, a bullpen move is the most obvious because of the availability of the 'pen."
- Starter Casey Mize also left Wednesday's game with an apparent groin injury, while right-hander Justin Verlander continues injury rehab at Comerica Park following a simulated game on Wednesday.
