Tigers Place Will Vest on 15-Day IL for Forearm Inflammation, Recall Ricky Vanasco

Overview

• Detroit placed Will Vest on the 15-day injured list for right lateral forearm inflammation after he missed four games with soreness that began following his April 26 outing.
• Manager A.J. Hinch said initial exams showed no obvious structural damage, and the club has scheduled more extensive testing.
• The Tigers selected right-hander Ricky Vanasco from Triple-A Toledo and designated Yoniel Curet for assignment to open a 40-man roster spot.
• Vanasco earned the call with 15 scoreless innings at Toledo, striking out 28 with four walks across 10 relief appearances.
• Bullpen depth is tight, as Kenley Jansen is day-to-day with a groin or abdominal issue and Sawyer Gipson-Long is also day-to-day after a scratch in Toledo.
