Tigers placed RHP Jack Flaherty on the 15-day injured list with right flexor inflammation.

The exact severity of the injury is a bit murky at the moment, which makes it challenging to forecast how much time Flaherty will miss. The 30-year-old heads back to the shelf for the second time this season after allowing three runs or fewer in four consecutive starts dating back to June 28. He was slated to take the ball against the Royals this weekend. No word on how Detroit will fill his rotation spot. There should be some clarity on his status at some point later this week.
