— Imagine it being September, after rosters have been expanded, and being short on healthy players.
If it’s 2017, it’s a reality for the Tigers.
Injuries left the Tigers with just two extra available position players Sunday for the home finale against the Twins — and both were catchers, John Hicks and Bryan Holaday.
“Limping to the finish line,” manager Brad Ausmus shrugged.
The Tigers on Sunday were without:
u25a0 First baseman Miguel Cabrera, who left the game in the first inning Saturday when his back stiffened. He was scheduled for an MRI Sunday.
