Doug Fister Injury: MRI 'Showed Something' According To Leyland

Detroit Tigers starter Doug Fister is headed to the disabled list with a lingering strain on his left side. What's causing the the injury to stick around is unclear, but an MRI taken after his most recent trip to the DL was announced "showed something" according to manager Jim Leyland.

Fister is 0-3 on the year with a 3.15 earned run average. He made his first appearance on the DL this season after an April 7 start against the Boston Red Sox that he left early holding his side in obvious pain. Casey Crosby will start Friday against the New York Yankees in place of Fister.
