Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Nursing injury at Triple-A
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Gipson-Long was scratched ahead of his scheduled start Friday with Triple-A Toledo due to undisclosed discomfort, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Hinch didn't provide many specifics on the nature of the issue beyond noting that Gipson-Long is "not 100 percent" and will be shut down. Toledo has yet to place the right-hander on its 7-day injured list, though that transaction could be made in the coming days. The timing of the injury is unfortunate, as Gipson-Long may have been in the mix for a call-up after Casey Mize (adductor) recently joined Justin Verlander (hip) on the IL. Gipson-Long has submitted a 4.86 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB in 16.2 innings through his four starts for Toledo this season.
