Alex Presley to DL, Adduci called up
The Tigers have made a move in the weekend leading up to Monday’s non-waiver Trade Deadline, but not quite the one everyone has been expecting. Outfielder Alex Presley is going on the 10-day disabled list with a right side strain.
Outfielder Jim Adduci was recalled from Triple-A Toledo to take his place.
Presley has been one of the bright spots of the Tigers outfield, batting .313 (31-for-99) with six doubles, a home run, 11 RBIs and a .769 OPS in 34 games. However, he strained his oblique on a swing last Sunday at Minnesota, and tried to play through it this week. The injury worsened to the point that he underwent an MRI exam Saturday to rule out anything more serious than a strain.
