Parker Meadows update: Tigers outfielder goes on injured list with broken arm, concussion
Wenceel Perez will be in the lineup on Friday night in a series opener against the Miami Marlins, manager A.J. Hinch said.
Detroit — The Detroit Tigers recalled Wenceel Perez to the roster on Friday, a move to replace an injured Parker Meadows after an outfield collision in Minnesota on Thursday. Perez will be in the lineup on Friday night in a series opener against the Miami Marlins, manager A. J.
Hinch said. Meadows, in a corresponding move, is going on the 10-day injured list. Meadows broke the radius bone in his left arm near the wrist, Hinch announced on Friday afternoon in Detroit, along with being diagnosed with a concussion and getting five stitches in his cheek where he bit it on the collision.
“And unfortunately, it's not one thing or two things,” Hinch said. “It was three things that he has to deal with. One will heal, really with stitches, but this game's not always fair.
” The Tigers are placing Meadows on the injured list for the broken wrist, and not the concussion, Hinch said. Hinch added that the Tigers do not know the exact timeline for Meadows to return, and that it depends heavily on the prognosis with the fracture. How much medical attention Meadows ultimately needs is unclear, still, and Hinch didn’t rule out that Meadows might require surgery.
