Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers went through his normal pregame routine ahead of Monday's series opener against the Texas Rangers.
He reported his "arm was bugging him," manager AJ Hinch said after his team's 14-0 win at Comerica Park. By the time batting practice began, athletic trainer Doug Teter informed Hinch that his starting catcher needed to be scratched from the lineup.
Less than 30 minutes later, Rogers was placed on the 10-day injured list with right arm soreness. The medical tests revealed a pronator teres strain, which means he has a forearm injury near his elbow.
