Detroit Tigers center fielder Curtis Granderson was sent for precautionary x-rays today after being hit by a pitch. Granderson was hit by a Travis Blackley pitch on his right hand during today’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Granderson did stay in the game after being hit, but shortly after being plunked the game was called due to rain. He thinks he could of continued thou even if the rains had not come.

“Just for precautionary reasons, go check it out,” Granderson said. “My reactions, I guess, made them think [it was more serious], but I grimace at anything. They think it’s more [of a bruise].” That’s pretty good news for Tigers fans as the team has had its fair share of injuries to start the spring. Reliever Fernando Rodney will most likely be starting on the DL with a sore shoulder thats effected him most of the spring. Gary Sheffield’s spring was delayed due to leg cramps. While Marcus Thames missed a little more then a week with a strained left pectoral muscle.

Like I said again, luckily for you Tigers fans this sounds less serious then any of those others.
