The Detroit Tigers had some unfortunate news to announce prior to Saturday’s loss to the Boston Red Sox. Veteran outfielder Austin Meadows has been placed on the 10-day injured list as he deals with an anxiety disorder. Outfielder Baddoo was recalled from Triple-A Toledo prior to Saturday’s game in his stead.
Meadows, a 27-year-old veteran of five major league seasons, struggled with anxiety last summer after a host of injuries left him rehabbing most of the season. In September, Meadows announced that he was getting treatment, and the Tigers shut him down for the rest of the season.
