Overview

• Manager Mark Kotsay said Lopez has a Grade 1 flexor strain and will be shut down, with the injured list move set for Tuesday.
• Lopez’s injury news followed his worst outing of the year in Seattle, where he allowed nine runs with six walks in two-plus innings.
• The left-hander had been on a breakout run this month, going 4-0 with a 0.70 ERA and logging 25 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings.
• Lopez reported feeling forearm discomfort after his previous start in Minnesota and said it felt different from his past Tommy John surgery, describing it in the flexor.
• Osvaldo Bido is listed as the probable starter against the Tigers and could take rotation turns while Lopez is sidelined.
