Tigers' Jace Jung: Not in Friday's lineup

Reason and analysis

Jace Jung, the Tigers' top prospect, was not in the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox. Manager A.J. Hinch said that Jung is dealing with some soreness in his left foot and that the team is being cautious with him. "We're going to give him a couple of days," Hinch said. "He's had a little bit of soreness in his left foot, so we're just going to give him a couple of days to kind of calm down and see where we're at."

Jung has been one of the Tigers' best hitters this spring, batting .389 with two home runs and seven RBIs in 18 games. He is expected to be the Tigers' starting shortstop this season. If Jung is unable to play, Willi Castro will likely start at shortstop.

Injury updates

In addition to Jung, the Tigers also have a few other players dealing with injuries. Matthew Boyd is still recovering from Tommy John surgery and is not expected to be ready to pitch until mid-May. Casey Mize is also dealing with a shoulder injury and is not expected to be ready to pitch until late April or early May.

The Tigers are hoping that Jung and the other injured players will be able to return to the lineup soon. However, the team is being cautious with them and does not want to rush them back before they are ready.
