  • Yermín Mercedes OF – left hamate fracture, expected back early to mid May
  • Ryan Burr RHP – right shoulder strain, day-to-day

These gents will pick up the slack:

Finally, Tim “No Regrets” Anderson will miss the first two games, serving a suspension for making contact with umpire Tim Timmons during a hullabaloo with the Tigers last September 27th.
