The Tigers have dealt with a lot of injuries this season.

@Miggysbat: “- Reese Olson – Troy Melton – Jackson Jobe – Justin Verlander – Casey Mike – Will Vest – Parker Meadows – Zach McKinstry – Javy Báez – Gleyber Torres Good grief, man.”
@lionsdaylight: “i’m sobbing in the span of one month the detroit tigers have become the detroit lions”
@DieselHokie08: “Tigers dropping like flies”
@TigersJUK: “If it comes out that Gleyber has been playing hurt this whole time I’ll be pretty annoyed. Surely it’s better to get completely healthy and start the season late than to hobble through the year like he did in the 2nd half last year?”
@squarehead725: “It’s not even funny how many injuries have happened this season…. and we’re only a month in…”
