BALTIMORE – Detroit Tigers left-handed reliever Brant Hurter has suffered an injury.
The 27-year-old exited with two outs in the fifth inning Friday, May 22, alongside assistant athletic trainer Chris MacDonald after a changeup to Baltimore Orioles pinch-hitter Tyler O'Neill resulted in a flyout.
Hurter landed awkwardly at the end of his delivery on the pitch, apparently injuring the left side of his lower body.
He was pitching in the rain.
INJURED LIST: Tigers reliever Burch Smith sidelined with shoulder injury
Hurter is one of the Tigers' best relievers – and he's certainly their best left-handed reliever. He owns a 2.84 ERA with 12 walks and 18 strikeouts across 25⅓ innings in 21 games.
In Friday's game, the Tigers replaced Hurter with right-handed reliever Connor Seabold.
