NIKO GOODRUM NEWS

Heading to injured list Goodrum (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Goodrum suffered a left groin strain during Wednesday's game against the Orioles and will be sidelined for at least the next 10 days. The severity of the injury is unknown, and he's without a timeline for his return. It's a tough break for Goodrum, who was activated from the injured list Tuesday after missing time with a calf issue.

Exits with groin strain Goodrum was removed from Wednesday's game against the Orioles with a left groin strain, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Goodrum suffered the injury during the fifth inning while running to second base on his two-RBI double. He ended up 1-for-3 and should be considered day-to-day until the severity of the strain is determined.

On base three times in return Goodrum went 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Orioles.

Impact Activated from the IL earlier in the day, Goodrum got the start at shortstop and hit sixth before shifting to center field later in the contest. The 29-year-old utility player has suited up at five different positions this season, but his .222/.303/.343 slash line through 64 games doesn't make a strong case for consistent work.

Returns from injured list Goodrum (calf) was activated off the injured list as expected Tuesday.

Impact Goodrum wound up missing just over three weeks with a calf issue. He'll bat sixth and play shortstop in his return to action. Exactly how many opportunities the Tigers want to give to a 29-year-old with a career .701 OPS down the stretch remains to be seen, as they may elect to give some of his usual playing time to younger options.

Set to return Tuesday Goodrum (calf) will rejoin the Tigers and be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Goodrum landed on the shelf with the calf injury just after the All-Star break, and he's ready to rejoin the active roster after going 5-for-26 with two walks, two RBI, three runs and nine strikeouts in seven rehab games with Triple-A Toledo. The 29-year-old has seen most of his time at shortstop in 2021, though he also has multiple appearances at second base and in the outfield, respectively.

Quantrill beats Tigers keeps Cabrera 2 shy of 500 homers

Cal Quantrill kept Miguel Cabrera in the ballpark as he nears 500 home runs and shut down the rest of Detroit’s lineup for seven innings, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 6-1 win...

Expected back Tuesday Goodrum (calf) isn't expected to return to the active roster before Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Goodrum has been out since mid-July with a calf issue, though he's now been on a rehab assignment for a full week. He's gone just 4-for-18 with eight strikeouts across five rehab games, so there's certainly an argument to be made that he needs a bit more time before he's ready to go. It's also possible the Tigers simply see no need to activate the 29-year-old when they could instead keep some younger alternatives in the lineup for a few more days.

Begins rehab assignment Goodrum (calf) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

Impact Reports from last weekend indicated Goodrum could begin a rehab assignment earlier this week, but he wound up a few days behind that schedule. He's been out for two weeks with a calf issue, a length of time which shouldn't require more than a small handful of rehab games before he's ready to return.
