Tigers’ manager A.J. Hinch told reporters on Friday that right-hander Will Vest has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right elbow.
Hinch noted that no surgery is expected to be needed, just extra rest and recovery time. The Tigers are still hopeful that Vest will be able to rejoin the bullpen at some point before the regular season concludes. If he is able to return, it probably won’t be until late August or early September.
