DETROIT (AP) -Detroit Tigers center fielder Curtis Granderson expects to have X-rays taken on his broken right hand this weekend.
Granderson broke a bone in his right hand when he was hit by Philadelphia’s Travis Blackley on March 22, and has not worked out since. He plans to avoid contact until the injury has fully healed.
“I’m being cautious,” he said before Tuesday’s game against Kansas City. “I don’t want to make it worse.”
Last season, Granderson hit .302 with 38 doubles, 23 triples, 23 homers and 26 steals, joining Wildfire Schulte, Willie Mays and Jimmy Rollins as the only players to have at least 20 in all four categories.
Brandon Inge, who lost his third-base job when the Tigers traded for Miguel Cabrera, has been filling in as Detroit’s starting center fielder. Inge hit .236 last year with 14 homers.
