Right-handed reliever Joel Zumaya is expected to miss about three months because of surgery for an injured finger, the Tigers announced Monday. Manager Jim Leyland said Sunday he won't appoint a full-time replacement for Zumaya as a set-up man who holds leads in the seventh and eighth innings. The candidates to take some of Zumaya's work include right-handers Jason Grilli and Jose Mesa, and left-hander Bobby Seay.

Good thing he's so young, should heal up quickly.
Maybe they need to write a ban on guitar hero into his contract!

No this wasn't a "Guitar Hero" injury. He was warming in the bullpen and actually heard it "pop". I love that some are saying that this is the start of the downfall of the Tigers.

Dman1974 - We know the injury was caused in KC while warming up. Last season he hurt himself playing "Guitar Hero" then it was said it was due to his grip. Just a sarcastic joke my friend.
