Tigers' Trainer Issues Diagnosis
Sunday, August 23
Per James Schmehl of MLive.com, Tigers trainer Kevin Rand said Greene is dealing with an "arterial issue" in his shoulder that is causing a pseudo-aneurysm. The 26-year-old will visit a specialist Tuesday.
On August 18, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus told Schmehl that Greene was placed on the seven-day disabled list with "numbness or coldness" in his fingers.
Injuries and inconsistent performance have derailed Greene's 2015 season. He had an MRI in May after feeling a tingling sensation in his right hand, though it didn't land him on the disabled list. The Tigers demoted him to Triple-A in June when Justin Verlander came off the disabled list.
In 18 games this season, Greene has posted a 6.88 ERA with 50 strikeouts in 83.2 innings. His last appearance in the big leagues was on August 7 against the Boston Red Sox. He tossed one scoreless inning in relief.
