When news broke that Detroit Tigers‘ top prospect Riley Greene had suffered an injury just prior to the start of the season, plenty of fans were a bit disheartened.
That being said, those same fans were excited when Tigers GM Al Avila went out and traded for then Tampa Bay Rays OF, Austin Meadows.
Unfortunately, Meadows is currently dealing with vertigo and he has landed on the injured list.
Prior to Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Guardians, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch spoke to the media and when asked about Meadows, he said the team is “very concerned.”
“We’re very concerned with what’s going on with Austin,” Hinch said.
No update from Tigers on Austin Meadows (vertigo), who remains at home in Florida and won't rejoin the team on this trip.
"We're very concerned with what's going on with Austin," A.J. Hinch said.
