Tigers Place Parker Meadows on IL With Concussion and Broken Arm After Outfield Collision

Friday’s hospital release starts a return-to-play process under specialist review.

Overview

  • Parker Meadows collided head-to-head with Riley Greene in the eighth inning Thursday at Target Field during a 3-1 loss to the Twins.
  • Team updates Friday said he has a concussion, a fractured left radius, and five stitches in his cheek.
  • He was released from a Minneapolis hospital and cleared to travel back to Detroit, according to manager A.J. Hinch.
  • Detroit placed him on the 10-day injured list and recalled outfielder Wenceel Pérez from Triple-A Toledo.
  • Specialists will determine if the arm needs surgery, and he must clear MLB concussion protocol, which points to a longer absence and shifts center-field work to Pérez, Matt Vierling and Javier Báez on a 4-9 club.
