One of their players who is dealing with an injury is future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander.

Tigers PR wrote (on May 10): “The Tigers today placed OF Kerry Carpenter on the 10-day injured list with a left AC joint sprain. INF Gage Workman (#99) was selected from Triple-A Toledo. To make room for Workman on the 40-man roster, RHP Justin Verlander was transferred to the 60-day injured list.”
