Tigers' Guillen To Go On DL After Injuring Hamstring
Detroit Tigers left fielder Carlos Guillen strained his left hamstring while running the bases Thursday night against the Los Angeles Angels.
Following their 5-4 victory, the Tigers said they will place Guillen on the 15-day disabled list and call up outfielder Brennan Boesch from Triple-A Toledo. Detroit manager Jim Leyland said Boesch will play Friday night in the opener of a four-game series at Texas.
The Tigers were leading 5-3 when Guillen tried to score from second on Scott Sizemore's fifth-inning single. Guillen pulled up midway between third and home and was gently tagged out by catcher Mike Napoli to end the inning.
