TSwift25 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Tigers placed RHP Troy Percival on the 15-day disabled, retroactive to May 8, with a partial tear of his right flexor pronator muscle mass. The Tigers hadn't indicated that Percival was having any problems. Still, this hardly comes as a surprise. Ugueth Urbina will move into the closer's role, and Kyle Farnsworth and Jamie Walker will be used as setup men. Expect an update later on a possible timetable for Percival's return. http://www.rotoworld.com/includes/topblurbs.asp?sport=MLB That came out of no where.

Mark Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Ummm...wow. The Tigers can't seem to find sturdy relievers...Farnsworth has been having trouble with his biceps muscle and now Percy...and to make it worse Rodney is still out with his shoulder injury.

Craig Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I wish him the best.....the Tigers knew they were taking risks signing Maggs and Percival, and the gamble's are failing for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passion Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Urbina is 1 for 1 in save chances since Percival has gone down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passion Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I still think Uggy is the man 768829[/snapback] He may not be that bad in the closers role...we all know the 'chemistry' him and Pudge have... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
