Detroit Tigers prospect Bryce Rainer suffers right shoulder injury in Low-A Lakeland
Detroit Tigers prospect Bryce Rainer suffered a right shoulder injury.
The injury occurred Tuesday, June 3, in the fourth inning of a game for Low-A Lakeland, when the 19-year-old drove back into first base on a pickoff attempt. After diving, he rolled onto his back in pain. He was helped off the field and into the dugout by a coach and an athletic trainer.

It's a right shoulder injury.
But the Tigers won't have further updates until Rainer is fully evaluated.
MORE ABOUT HIM: Bryce Rainer solves Tigers' shortstop problem if available in 2024 MLB draft
Rainer — whom the Tigers selected No. 11 overall in the 2024 draft — is hitting .288 with five home runs, 20 walks and 33 strikeouts in 35 games for Low-A Lakeland, getting all of his defensive reps at shortstop. His average exit velocity is 92.1 mph, which would rank among the top 50 MLB players.
The Tigers believe Rainer is their shortstop of the future, as he hits the ball extremely hard and features a strong throwing arm.
