JaCoby Jones Placed On Injured List
On Thursday, the Detroit Tigers placed outfielder JaCoby Jones (low back strain) on the 10-day Injured List. Jones has been a mainstay in the Tigers' lineup all year, starting in centerfield and typically batting ninth, but starting in mid-June, he began leading off a good amount. Jones doesn't contribute much in fantasy terms, with a […]
Tigers Call Up Outfielder Victor Reyes
The Detroit Tigers called up outfielder Victor Reyes on Thursday to take the roster spot of fellow outfielder JaCoby Jones (low back strain), who was placed on the 10-day Injured List.

Dwight Smith Jr. Goes Hitless Wednesday, Continues To Struggle
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Dwight Smith Jr. went 0-for-5 with a strikeout in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Rays.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (quad) left Wednesday's game in the sixth inning with left quadriceps tightness.
