The Detroit Tigers placed third baseman Gio Urshela on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right hamstring strain.In a corresponding move, Detroit recalled third baseman Buddy Kennedy from Triple-A Toledo.Urshela, 32, exited the Tigers’ 5-4 win at Minnesota on Friday in the second inning after running out a groundout and hobbling off the field. He later told reporters that he has a Grade 1 strain and could be out for two weeks.”It didn’t look good,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Friday. “I thought he was running a little bit funny down to first, and then when he got to first and then bent over, I had a little pit in my stomach. He’s going to get evaluated. … I’m never really optimistic on those type of injuries with his hammy, but we hope for the best.”Urshela came to Detroit as a free agent in the offseason and is batting .298 with six RBIs in 18 games. He missed most of the 2023 season with the Los Angeles Angels because of a fractured pelvis.
