J.D. Martinez brought his big bat back to the Detroit lineup on Wednesday, but just days later the Tigers lose another important part of their offense.
Third baseman Nick Castellanos was lost to the club for at least a month Saturday night when he was hit in the left hand by a pitch, suffering a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metacarpal.
Detroit recalled veteran Casey McGehee from Triple-A Toledo to replace him.
McGehee, with Detroit briefly twice earlier this season, brings a veteran bat that doesn't have much pop but can be filled with base hits.
