The Detroit Tigers placed fair outfielder Magglio Ordonez on the 15-day disabled list with a pulled weight in his healthy side on Sunday.

Ordonez pulled his indirect muscle in the third inning of a 7-6 win over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday evening.

Ordonez is hitting .307 with 12 home runs and 50 RBI. He hit .363 last spell to win the American League batting deed.

To replace Ordonez on the register, Detroit recalled the indenture of outfielder Matt Joyce from Triple-A Toledo.

It will be Joyce’s additional spell with the Tigers this season. He hit .208 with five home runs and 10 RBI in 18 cup in his major stay in Detroit. Joyce has 13 home runs and 41 RBI and is .270 at Toledo.
