The way the wheels fell off the Detroit Tigers’ bandwagon — battered and beaten though it already was, kept rolling only by the headwinds of the awful American League Central — this past week, you’d think the warranty just expired or something.
On Tuesday, it was Eduardo Rodriguez and Matt Vierling going on the injured list (with finger and back ailments, respectively). That day, Riley Greene departed the Tigers’ game early, and by Wednesday, he too was headed to the IL with a “stress reaction” (downgraded from a “stress fracture”) in his left leg.
