Detroit Tigers recent news:

In an unfortunate turn of events during the last game of the season Freddy Garcia had to leave the field at the bottom of the sixth inning because of this stiffness in his right shoulder which prevented him to finish the game which was at that point very tight and in favor of the tigers 2 to 1 against the White Sox. After Garcia when out things turned very differently for the tigers and they couldn't hold up against the white sox roster.

Let's hope to hear positive news about Freddy Garcia as he is a key pitcher in the team, one that proves to be quite effective as long as he doesn't have any physical ailment.
