Detroit Tigers: James McCann to disabled list, John Hicks up

Detroit Tigers catcher James McCann will be sidelined for the time being.

The team’s usual starter was in the starting lineup on Thursday, and logged an at-bat in the team’s 7-6 road loss to the Houston Astros.

However, McCann would later exit the game due to injury after being hit by a pitcher.

Alex Avila replaced the 26-year-old as a pinch-runner. Avila fined the game 1-for-2 with a run scored, a walk and a strikeout.

The Tigers would announce in a tweet on the team’s official Twitter account that McCann went on the disabled list in a tweet on Friday morning.
