Blogged under General, Front Page, Injuries, Bloglockers by chinmusic on Wednesday 18 August 2010 at 3:02 pm

The Tigers have placed 34-year old switch hitting 2B Carlos Guillen on the 15-day disabled list with a deep bruise in his left knee. Guillen has played in 68 games for the Tigers this year and he is 69 of 253 (.273 avg, .746 OPS) with 26 runs scored, 6 homers, 34 RBIs and 1 stolen base. The Tigers have called up 27-year old lefty swinging infielder Wil Rhymes to replace Guillen on the active roster. Rhymes has played in 15 games this season for the Tigers and he is 14 of 54 (.259 avg, .662 OPS) with 7 runs scored and 4 RBIs. Rhymes will likely platoon with Ramon Santiago until Guillen returns to action.
