Detroit – The Tigers got some bad news before the game Monday.
Right-handed pitcher Dario Agrazal, who was scheduled to start against the Royals on Tuesday, was placed in the injured list with a right forearm strain.
The Tigers called up rookie right-hander Anthony Castro from the taxi squad.
“Agrazal just came in and pointed at his elbow,” manager Ron Gardenhire said. “He said he believed if he tried to pitch it wouldn’t be too good.”
The forearm strain was the diagnosis of the Tigers’ training staff.
