Placed on injured list Goodrum was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain, retroactive to Wednesday.

Impact Goodrum was set to miss his fourth consecutive game Saturday, and he'll head to the injured list to recover. It's unclear how much time he'll need to heal. Sergio Alcantara was recalled in a corresponding move and should serve in a depth role as Willi Castro should handle most of the work at shortstop.

Likely unavailable Friday Goodrum (abdomen) isn't expected to play during Friday's doubleheader against the Twins, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 28-year-old sustained an abdominal injury during Tuesday's game in Milwaukee and didn't play Wednesday, and it appears he won't be retaking the field for Friday's twin bill either. Goodrum should be considered day-to-day. Willi Castro is likely to receive more time at shortstop in his absence.

Sitting out Wednesday Goodrum (abdomen) isn't in Wednesday's lineup against the Brewers.

Impact Goodrum is reportedly fine and available off the bench if necessary, but manager Ron Gardenhire wants to give him a day off after he suffered an abdominal injury Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. Willi Castro will start at shortstop Wednesday, but Goodrum could return to the lineup Friday after the Tigers' scheduled off day.

Likely sitting Wednesday Goodrum is expected to be out of Wednesday's lineup in Milwaukee due to an abdominal injury, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 28-year-old looked to be clutching at his side after a flyout Tuesday, but it doesn't appear to be a serious issue since he never exited the contest despite the lopsided score. Goodrum is also 3-for-24 with 14 strikeouts in his past seven games, so it may be a good time for a day off regardless of the injury. Willi Castro is likely to take over at shortstop for the Tigers on Wednesday.

Swipes fourth bag Goodrum went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Cubs.

Impact Goodrum has struggled in nearly every aspect this season -- he is hitting a paltry .188 overall -- but he has provided some value with five home runs, 15 RBI and four steals. Nonetheless, it's hard to have much confidence in the utilityman's output given his trouble making contact. In 96 at-bats this season, he has struck out 40 times.

Goes deep Sunday Goodrum went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and a solo home run in Sunday's 7-4 win over Cleveland.

Impact Goodrum reached base four times and hit his fifth home run of the season in a strong all-around effort. It's an encouraging sign for the 28-year-old, who came into Sunday slashing just .183/.231/.383 this month. Goodrum has never hit even .250 in a season, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect a great batting average, but he does offer a decent combo of power and speed from the middle infield.

Plates run in loss Goodrum went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's loss against the White Sox.

Impact Goodrum has recorded hits in three of his last four games, but he is on a 3-for-23 slump in his last six games. Despite his offensive struggles, Goodrum has been producing runs at a decent rate and has already racked up 14 RBI in 20 games this season.
