More on Dmitri

Dmitri Young's injury is being called a strained left quadriceps for now until head athletic trainer Kevin Rand, who was in Winter Haven with the other split squad when the injury occurred in Lakeland, can examine it. Before anyone asks, I don't think the lack of more comment means it's necessarily anything worse. I think it means the Tigers don't want to say anything until they have Rand's opinion on it. In this case, that policy applies to Young, too.

What this means for Young's chances of being a versatile player again, I don't know. He didn't hurt himself playing in the field, but he did do it with a simple acceleration to first base. As Leyland said in Winter Haven after he learned about the injury, "We've got a lot of time yet. Fortunately."
