It&#8217;s not known how long he&#8217;ll be sidelined.<\/p>\n<p>To fill his roster spot, the team recalled third baseman Hao-Yu Lee from Triple-A. He started Saturday and batted ninth.<\/p>\n<p>Flaherty\u2019s injury is just the latest for the Tigers, who were without Skubal for more than a month after he had surgery on his left elbow. <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/nanoneedle-skubal-hellebuyck-00b34d0d90e7d09d9389f99bfa47e5e3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">A new arthroscope<\/a> was used in Skubal\u2019s procedure, and the ace returned Saturday at Cleveland following a speedy recovery.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, the Tigers will start Casey Miez, who has been out since late May with a groin injury.<\/p>\n<p>Flaherty appeared to hurt himself when he slipped on the mound in the first inning Friday while pitching to Cleveland&#8217;s Chase DeLauter. The right-hander changed cleats but wound up leaving after just three innings.<\/p>\n<p>The injury to Flaherty is another blow to the Tigers, who have been dealing with injuries to their roster all season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had 15 on the injured list, and it\u2019s starting to whittle down,\u201d manager A.J. Hinch said before Saturday&#8217;s game. &#8220;The positive news is starting to come and just kind of chipping away at getting a team back that we expected to have. It started with the position players; we\u2019ve seen immediate impact from getting Gleyber (Torres) and (Kerry Carpenter) back in the lineup, and we expect the same in the rotation. It\u2019s been a long time coming.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CLEVELAND \u2014 The Detroit Tigers welcomed back their best pitcher and placed another starter on the injured list&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":734954,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[58195,16738,3979,64,63,6115,591,44,12293,129815,85,39],"class_list":["post-734953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-app-sports","tag-app-top-stories","tag-associated-press","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cleveland","tag-mlb","tag-news","tag-ohio","tag-ohio-cleveland-guardians","tag-sports","tag-top-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=734953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/734954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=734953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=734953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=734953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
