Ex-Rams DE explains why the Ty Simpson pick was actually smart
Chris Long believes Rams' Ty Simpson pick is a smart long-term strategy.
The Detroit Tigers have placed reliever Connor Seabold on the 15-day injured list due to an ankle injury and have called up Brenan Hanifee from Triple-A Toledo.
Cincinnati â The Tigers are taking the precautionary route with reliever Connor Seabold.
After reviewing the MRI on his injured left ankle, they opted to put him on the 15-day injured list and called up right-hander Brenan Hanifee from Triple-A Toledo.

Before the decision was made, Seabold thought he was going to be OK.
âIâm not worried about it,â he said. âAnd it doesnât sound like (the Tigers) are worried about it, either.â

The Tigers, though, are worried about Seabold not making the injury worse. And they are also trying to get through the game Sunday with a bullpen that has covered 10.1 innings the last two days.
âWe had a heavy day (Saturday), but these guys can post again,â manager AJ Hinch said. âEspecially having the off day Monday. That helps.â
Seabold slipped while delivering a pitch Saturday night and fell awkwardly.
âIt felt like one spike caught and the rest didnât,â he said. âI donât know if I jammed it or extended it too much in a direction I shouldnât have. It didnât feel great.â
Hanifee, a mainstay in the Tigersâ bullpen the last two seasons and among the final cuts out of spring, has been pitching well at Toledo. Heâs pitched eight scoreless outings out of 10 and hasnât allowed a run in his last three.
