Mazara has played in all 12 games for the Tigers to start the season, but he will be headed to the 10-day IL. He left Wednesday’s game early due to an undisclosed injury, and it was revealed on Thursday that he suffered an abdominal strain. The Tigers have recalled Joe Jimenez from the taxi squad to take his place on the active roster.
Mazara has gotten off to a slow start this season, posting a .670 OPS through his first 40 plate appearances. That said, he has hit two home runs, and his five runs batted in ranks fourth on the team.
