CHICAGO -- If some of the foreboding scenes involving injured players over the past two days were as bad as they looked, the Tigers would have a longer disabled list and a lot more worries.
Luckily for Detroit, perception is not always reality, and minor injuries are not becoming major ones.
After Tuesday's 11-8 win against the White Sox, utility man Mike Aviles walked out of the clubhouse headed for an X-ray on the left wrist he injured diving for a ground ball in the eighth inning, causing him to leave the game.
Aviles was accompanied by a Tigers trainer and designated hitter Victor Martinez, who had missed the past two days with right knee soreness.
