Detroit Tigers optimistic about Alex Faedo (hip soreness) injury recovery

It's so far, so good for Detroit Tigers pitcher Alex Faedo.

The rookie right-hander left in the fourth inning of Detroit's second game in Monday's doubleheader sweep over the Cleveland Guardians with right hip soreness. He's the sixth Tigers pitcher to leave a game via injury this season, but manager A.J. Hinch believes Faedo may return to the mound soon.

"He's been checked out," Hinch said Tuesday before Detroit played Cleveland at 7:10 p.m. in Comerica Park. "Some doctors are reviewing the film, (but) everything's pointed in a pretty good direction. I don't think there's a ton of structural damage in the hip.
