Niko Goodrum Stats

Detroit Tigers utility player Niko Goodrum (calf) took batting practice on the field on Wednesday and could join Triple-A Toledo for a rehab assignment later this week or next week, according to Jason Beck of MLB.com. Goodrum landed on the 10-day injured list with a left calf contusion on Saturday after being scratched from the lineup due to what was initially announced as left calf tightness. He's been a serviceable option in deeper formats this season, as he was slashing .220/.296/.341 with six home runs, 12 steals, 18 RBI and 28 runs scored over 63 games prior to the injury. However, he's been relegated to a bench bat for Detroit over the past month, so any value he might have had has more or less dried up at this point.

Detroit Tigers utility player Niko Goodrum (calf) will be placed on the 10-day injured list after being scratched from Saturday's lineup due to left calf tightness, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. It's unclear just how long Goodrum will be out, but in the meantime, the Tigers are calling up outfielder Victor Reyes to replace him on the roster. Goodrum had missed time at the end of June due to a finger injury, but overall this season he's been a solid deep-league play, as he's slashing .220/.296/.341 with six homers, 12 steals, 18 RBI and 28 runs scored over 63 games. Between Goodrum being out and Nomar Mazara being designated for assignment this week, Reyes will likely get a decent amount of playing time in the outfield while Goodrum is on the shelf.

Detroit Tigers infielder Niko Goodrum (calf) was scratched from the lineup of Game 1 of the doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday with left calf tightness. Zack Short took Goodrum's place at shortstop against Twins left-hander Charlie Barnes. Don't be surprised if Goodrum also sits out the nightcap of the doubleheader. Aside from his speed (12 stolen bases in 16 attempts), Goodrum hasn't given fantasy managers much in deep mixed leagues with a .220/.296/.341 slash line, six home runs, 28 runs scored and 18 RBI in 230 plate appearances. His calf injury is certainly worth watching, especially if it keeps him from running as much.
