Tigers Place Parker Meadows On Injured List
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Detroit Tigers have placed outfielder Parker Meadows on the 10-day injured list due to a concussion and a fractured radius in his left arm, along with five stitches in his mouth following a collision during a game against the Twins.
- Meadows collided with teammate Riley Greene while attempting to catch a ball, resulting in him being down on the field with visible bleeding and wooziness, leading to his injury diagnosis.
- Outfielder Wenceel Pérez has been recalled to the Tigers in a corresponding roster move; Pérez had been sent to Triple-A after a rough spring but has shown improvement in minor league play this season.
- Pérez’s recall impacts his service time, delaying his eligibility for free agency by a year, though he may still qualify for arbitration as a Super Two player after this season.
- The Tigers' outfield will now feature Riley Greene as a regular starter, with Pérez and other players like Kerry Carpenter, Matt Vierling, and Javier Báez rotating through remaining positions and designated hitter opportunities.
