Detroit Tigers: The Week That Was 5/23-5/29

As a result of a rainout on Friday, the Detroit Tigers ended up playing in just six games over the last week. The week that was saw the team go 3-3, with a three-game series against Minnesota and a four-game series against Cleveland, with one of those games being the Friday rainout. Overall, the team scored a total of 15 runs while allowing 21.

It was a hot week for Harold Castro, who finished the week 7-14 at the plate with a double and three home runs. While getting quite regular playing time over the last few days, Castro undoubtedly had the best week of all Detroit’s batters. He also added three RBIs, while only striking out a single time.

Elvin Rodriguez is the latest starting pitcher to be removed from a game early with an injury. He left Sunday’s game after just four innings due to lower body cramping. Whether or not he will be added to the injured list remain to be seen. Robbie Grossman has also found himself on the wrong side of the injury report. He was given a “mental health day” on Wednesday as a result of a season-long struggle at the plate and was then taken out of Sunday’s game after batting just once due to a neck injury.
