Detroit Tigers could skip Jose Urena's next scheduled start because of forearm injury

If Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch had to decide right now, he would skip Jose Urena's next start — scheduled for Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers — because of lower right forearm cramping.

Urena, 29, was removed from Wednesday's 1-0 win over Cleveland with two outs in the sixth inning. He threw 82 pitches but started dealing with pain during the fourth inning. Urena has felt similar cramping in his forearm before, usually when he throws a lot of curveballs.

"We'll come to a collective agreement over the next 24 hours," Hinch said Friday.
