Detroit Tigers place Parker Meadows on injured list with quad strain; Andy Ibáñez recalled
The Detroit Tigers have placed Meadows — their primary center fielder who missed the first 60 games of the season with a musculocutaneous nerve injury in his upper right arm — on the 10-day injured list with a right quad strain.
To replace him, the Tigers recalled infielder Andy Ibáñez from Triple-A Toledo.
"Fortunately, we think we caught it early, so there won't be a tear or a high-grade strain," Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris said Monday, July 28. "We're hopeful that he's going to be back soon. I think the good part is we caught it early."
ANOTHER INJURY: Reese Olson, Tigers' No. 2 starter, ruled out for regular season with shoulder strain
The Tigers noticed Meadows' quad injury while watching him play in the Tigers' 10-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday, July 27, at Comerica Park.
He had been receiving treatment on his quad.
"If you go back and watch, he was a little guarded in center field, also a little guarded around the bases," Harris said, explaining the injury. "We approached him about it."
Meadows, 25, is hitting .200 with two home runs, 12 walks and 40 strikeouts in 38 games. Of his 25 hits, three of them occurred in his last two games.
The Tigers also lost starting pitcher Reese Olson for the remainder of the regular season on Monday. While the team is leaving open the chance of a return for the playoffs, it's been an unfortunate run of injury luck to start the week.

Celtics trade pitch finds ideal Kristaps Porzingis replacement by moving Simons
The Boston Celtics are still looking for ways to shed salary, and that could come in a few different ways. If Brad Stevens could also do that in a way to improve the rest of his roster, it's possible that things could look great for the Celtics in the short and long term. When recently looking for a few trade ideas around for Anfernee Simons, Matt Moore of FanSided proposed a few intriguing ones. Perhaps his most intriguing, however, was a deal with the Chicago Bulls for Nikola Vucevic and Ayo Dosunmu. MORE: Boston Celtics get: Nikola Vucevic, Ayo Dosunmu Chicago Bulls get: Anfernee Simons, Xavier Tillman 'The Bulls have a logjam of guards, so adding Simons is a little curious. But think of this way. In adding Simons, they can leverage him against Coby White, who is also on an expiring deal. The player who comes out on top gets extended. 'That, along with the Giddey extension, sets their direction for the long-term in the backcourt while Matas Buzelis develops... The Celtics shave off another $1.4 million off their cap space, while continuing to clean the books for 2026, and add a dogged defender in Dosunmu who fits their system better than Simons. Think of what Dosunmu will learn as Derrick White's understudy,' he wrote. Vucevic would be an interesting piece for the Celtics, as he has a somewhat similar skill set to Kristaps Porzingis. While Porzingis is much better, and tough to disagree with, Vucevic can also make shots from beyond the arc, so in that sense, they have some similarities. Dosunmu could also be a decent piece, and perhaps someone who could run the second unit, depending on what the Celtics want to do.

Report: Packers RB Emanuel Wilson avoids serious knee injury
Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson avoided a serious knee injury at Friday's practice and shouldn't miss much time, according to reporting from Bill Huber of Wilson, the team's backup running back behind Josh Jacobs last season, went down awkwardly while attempting to catch a pass during a team period on Friday. Despite initial concerns of a major injury, it appears Wilson avoided a worst-case scenario and will eventually return during training camp. Huber described the injury as a "tweak" and reported there is "no damage" inside the knee. The Packers are already without running back MarShawn Lloyd, who injured his groin during the team's first padded practice of the week and is expected to miss time into next week. Wilson rushed 103 times for 502 yards and four touchdowns and caught 11 passes for 48 yards and another touchdown across 17 games last season. The Packers also have veteran Chris Brooks, rookies Jalen White and Amir Johnson and recent addition Israel Abanikanda at running back behind Jacobs entering the team's Family Night practice at Lambeau Field on Saturday. The Packers open the preseason next Saturday at Lambeau Field against the New York Jets. This article originally appeared on Packers Wire: Report: Packers RB Emanuel Wilson avoids serious knee injury
