Gipson-Long (forearm/groin) will receive further medical evaluation before the Tigers determine the next steps in his rehab program, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Gipson-Long was on a minor-league rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland while coming back from a groin injury, but he was pulled off the assignment last week after experiencing right forearm tightness. That he continues to be evaluated isn't a great sign that he'll be able to return to the mound in the near future, but the Tigers should have more clarification on his status later this week.
