ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -Detroit Tigers outfielder-designated hitter Marcus Thames is expected to be sidelined for more than a month because of a strained ribcage muscle.
Thames was placed on the 15-day disabled list late Tuesday night. He was injured while taking a swing during batting practice before Detroit’s 4-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels.
Thames was just starting to get back into a groove after recovering from a lower abdominal strain in spring training.
He batted .241 last season with 25 homers and 56 RBIs in 103 games. He was 4-for-18 in his first six games this year, driving in two runs and striking out six times.
