TIGERS | ANIBAL SANCHEZ PLACED ON DL
Detroit Tigers SP Anibal Sanchez (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right rotator cuff strain Thursday, Aug. 20. Source: MLB.com

BHQ take: DET made several pitching roster moves, with starter Daniel Norris joining Sanchez on the DL with a strained oblique. Sanchez could be done for the season, while Norris seems likely to return in September. DET acquired LHP Randy Wolf to fill one of the rotation vacancies. The DL moves virtually ensure that rookie Matt Boyd is likely to remain in the rotation well into September, if not for the balance of the season. Relievers Jose Valdez and Guido Knudson were promoted from Triple-A. Valdez was previously profiled when he was called up, while Knudson is previewed in the current Call-ups column. Wolf displayed solid skills, including 3.2 Cmd and 79 BPV in a limited 26-IP sample in 2014, though his 1.4 HR/9 and 35% h% yielded a 5.26 ERA. Boyd has one PQS-DOM and two PQS-DISasters among his five starts for DET since being acquired with Norris from TOR in a July deadline trade. He has an impressive 19 K/5 BB in 25 IP, though he has been hit hard, as reflected in his 4.88 xERA, 2.6 HR/9, 16% HR/F and 50% FB%. ?Tom Kephart

Boyd, Matt PT Gain: 7%
Norris, Daniel PT Loss: -5%

August 22 in Tigers and mlb history:

1905 - Umpire John Sheridan forfeits a game to Washington in the 11th when the Tigers refuse to resume play after a lengthy dispute. Washington is ahead 2 - 1 at the time of the forfeiture.

1915: In the 2nd inning of game one of a doubleheader versus Detroit, the crowd sees the Senators score a run with no times at bat, the only time it's ever happened. Chick Gandil and Merito Acosta walk; Rip Williams sacrifices, and George McBride hits a sacrifice fly, scoring Gandil, and the Tigers catch Acosta off second base when OF Bobby Veach throws to Ossie Vitt. Washington's Walter Johnson goes on to win and snap the Tigers' 9-game win streak.

1933 - Hank Greenberg has the first of 35 multi-home run games. He also gets the first of his six career walk-off home runs.

1934 Rudy York makes his big league debut with the Tigers.

1946 - Clubs approve a change to a 168-game schedule, but they will rescind the decision at another meeting on September 16. Television is first recognized, with clubs given rights to their own games. Players jumping to outlaw leagues will not be allowed to apply for reinstatement for five years.

1972 - The Tigers and A?s have another brawl, setting up bad blood in that year?s ALCS showdown between them.

1978 - Ron LeFlore swipes his 27th consecutive base as Detroit beats the Twins 7 - 3. He began the streak on July 16.

1997: The Tigers pound the Brewers 16 - 1, with the aid of 23 hits and an 11-run 7th inning. Bobby Higginson gets five hits for Detroit, while Travis Fryman and Tony Clark drive in four runs apiece.

2011: Detroit's Justin Verlander continues his dominance on the mound, earning his major league-leading 19th win in the Tigers' 5 - 2 victory over the Rays. It is his 7th consecutive winning start. Alex Avila, hitting .424 in August, hits a two-run homer off Jeff Niemann in the 2nd to send the Bengals on their way.
