Rajai Davis left Saturday's game early after sustaining an apparent injury while running down the first base line.
DETROIT — The last thing the Tigers need is for them to lose Rajai Davis for any length of time, whatever the reason. Davis was taken out of Saturday night's game in the second inning for what appeared to be a groin injury.
Davis hit a ground ball and took off for first base, but he pulled up soon after, unable to run. The inning ended on Davis' groundout, but the focus wasn't on a lost opportunity to increase the Tigers' slim 1-0 lead.
Davis was bent over with a pained expression on his face when he reached first base. Head athletic trainer Kevin Rand and manager Brad Ausmus came out to check on Davis and soon after Ausmus motioned to the dugout for a replacement.
Ezequiel Carrera replaced Davis in centerfield and Davis walked off the field under his own power, howbeit slowly under the watchful eye of Rand.
