Purdue129 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Just heard this on the Tigers' home station, didn't catch the exact injury, something arm related. They said it looks like he'll be out 4-6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Wow, things not going well for them. That tends to happen with 35 year old closers who've shown a recent tendancy to break down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 For the Tigers its a good thing its not his hip. Thats supposed to be really bad. They thought it was career threatening a year or two ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabroni Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 "Tigers place Percival on disabled list Spurling Recalled from Triple-A Toledo" http://detroit.tigers.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/n...t=.jsp&c_id=det DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers today placed righthanded pitcher Troy Percival on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 8, with a partial tear of his right flexor pronator muscle mass. To replace Percival on the club's 25-man roster, the Tigers recalled the contract of righthanded pitcher Chris Spurling from Triple A Toledo. Percival posted a 1-1 record with three saves and a 3.65 ERA (12.1IP/5ER) in 12 games with the Tigers. He is in his first season with the club after signing with the team as a free agent on November 17, 2004. Spurling joins the Tigers after appearing in 12 games with the Mud Hens, posting a 2-1 record with one save and a 4.12 ERA (19.2IP/9ER). Spurling spent the entire 2004 season on the disabled list after undergoing ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction surgery on March 4, 2004. He spent the entire 2003 season with the Tigers, posting a 1-3 record with three saves and a 4.68 ERA (77.0IP/40ER). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 So now it’ll be between Urbina and Farnsworth to close games out for the Tigers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabroni Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 So now it’ll be between Urbina and Farnsworth to close games out for the Tigers? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I would guess that Farnsworth will be the setup man and Urbina will close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangercal Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 NO !!!! I drafted urbina in a late round and held on to him all year, and released him last night. Here's hoping he can clear waivers and I can get him back . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
