Outfielder Jacob Robson promoted, Matthew Boyd to the 60-day IL

As the injuries pile up again, the Detroit Tigers are busily making roster moves. The latest is the promotion of outfielder Jacob Robson from Triple-A Toledo. He’ll be active for the Tigers game with the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday afternoon. The Tigers have moved starting pitcher Matthew Boyd to the 60-day injured list temporarily in order to open a 40-man roster spot for Robson.

The move comes as a response to Niko Goodrum’s injury in Wednesday’s nights contest in Baltimore. Goodrum suffered a left groin strain running out his RBI double, and has been moved back to the 10-day IL.
