Detroit Tigers' Austin Meadows to miss rest of year due to injuries, mental health

Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows will remain out of the lineup for the remainder of the season as he revealed in a post on Friday that he's "struggling with my mental health" in addition to a myriad of previous injuries.

"What I have told very few people is that I also have been struggling with my mental health in a way that has extended my time away from the game that I love so much," Meadows said in his statement. "I've been dealing with this privately with a great team of professionals, but I need to continue to put in the hard work off the field towards feeling mentally healthy.
