Tigers Meadows Suffers Broken Arm, Concussion
Why it matters: Parker Meadows is out for the Detroit Tigers, impacting the team's lineup for at least 10 days.
- Parker Meadows suffered a broken arm (fractured radius bone in his left arm) and a concussion following a collision with teammate Riley Greene.
- Meadows also received five stitches for a cut on his cheek, which manager A.J. Hinch attributed to biting the inside of his cheek during the impact.
- A.J. Hinch called Meadows' injury a "tough blow for him, tough blow for us," noting the 26-year-old had started 11 of Detroit's 13 games this season, batting .250.
Detroit Tigers center fielder Parker Meadows has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a broken arm and a concussion after a violent on-field collision with teammate Riley Greene during Thursday's game against Minnesota. Meadows, who sustained a fractured radius bone in his left arm and a cheek laceration requiring five stitches, is a significant loss for the team, according to manager A.J. Hinch.
