Detroit Tigers utility player Mike Aviles was forced to leave Tuesday’s game after appearing to hurt his wrist while diving for a ground ball that he ultimately couldn’t snag.
At this time, the Tigers haven’t released anything on the injury. However, if Aviles is forced to miss time, the question becomes, who replaces him?
Aviles hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire at the plate in his first season in Detroit. The 35-year-old came into Tuesday’s contest hitting .190 with a .239 on-base percentage and a .222 slugging percentage. In addition to those numbers, the utility player also added nine runs scored, three RBI and a pair of doubles.
