José Cisnero - Placed on 60-day IL Cisnero was placed on the 60-day injured list Wednesday with a right shoulder strain, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. Impact The reliever suffered a right elbow laceration when he fell down the stairs in September, ending his 2021 campaign prematurely. The injury wasn't a concern heading into the spring, however, as Detroit signed him to a one-year, $1.9 million contract in his first year of arbitration, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Cisnero got off to a slow start to camp and experienced renewed soreness following a Grapefruit League appearance Sunday, but the injury is related to his shoulder rather than his elbow this time around. As a result of his diagnosis, Cisnero will be forced to miss the first couple months of the season. With Andrew Chafin (groin) also opening the season on the IL, the Tigers' bullpen depth will be tested early on in 2022.
