Tigers place James Outman on concussion list after being hit by pitch

Summary

The Detroit Tigers have placed outfielder James Outman on the seven-day concussion injured list after he was struck on the chin by a 94 mph fastball from Cleveland Guardians pitcher Erik Sabrowski during Wednesday's game. Outman remained in the contest briefly before experiencing concussion symptoms the following day. His absence adds to the Tigers' outfield troubles, as Riley Greene is already on the injured list with a hamstring strain. In response, Detroit recalled outfielder Trei Cruz from Triple-A Toledo to fill Outman's roster spot. Cruz has prior MLB experience but is looking to contribute more effectively this time.
