On Friday night, the Detroit Tigers were destroyed 11-3 by the Los Angeles Angeles but the game is not the only thing they lost as Niko Goodrum was forced to leave the game in the sixth inning after diving for a ball and hurting his wrist.
According to the Tigers, Goodrum has a “left-hand finger sprain,” which means he will certainly miss some games moving forward.
We expect the Tigers to place Goodrum on the 10-day IL on Saturday. Since he is only batting .216 on the season, this may be an opportunity for Niko to reset himself for the second half of the campaign.
Goodrum has a "left hand finger sprain," per the Tigers.
Which maybe is good news? I thought he had done something to his wrist. https://t.co/vBjulOp4sb
