Miller to DL
posted in 2007 season, injuries |Andrew Miller was assigned to the disabled list today with a strained hamstring, and Fernando Rodney was recalled from this Toledo rehab early, Jason Beck reports. Beck does not know the corresponding move in the rotation. Miller left the game after four innings yesterday with the injury.
The number of Tigers not on the DL this season is really dwindling, especially those on the pitching staff. Far as my mind can recall, the only pitchers from last year not on the DL are Justin Verlander (who most people expected would see some lingering effects from his inning surge), Jason Grilli (who most people hoped would see the list) and Todd Jones.
Maybe there really is something to the notion a World Series run wears down the pitching staff of the two teams who play until the final day of the season. Most teams since the Yankees about 7-8 years ago do not make a return. I’m stiffing the notion the Tigers will not, either.

I don’t think Bonderman has been on the DL. He missed two starts early in the season with his blister problem, but I don’t believe he was ever placed on the DL. But, I see your point. I thought (and wrote) about the same topic, probably at the same exact time you were posting this note. It’s really amazing how many injuries the Tigers pitching staff has had this year. Just incredible.

Nope, I take that back. He was on the DL in early May. Wow. Yeah, not good.
Well said in your blog, Scott. Check out the link to read it.
