Parker Meadows Faces Uncertainty with Nerve Injury

Detroit Tigers center fielder Parker Meadows has been forced to pause all baseball activities due to a nerve issue affecting his upper right arm, according to manager A.J. Hinch, who spoke with reporters, including Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. The injury’s unclear timeline has left Meadows’ availability for the season’s opening in doubt, with Hinch describing the situation as fluid and unpredictable.
​
Hinch elaborated on the current approach, stating, “My understanding is that we’re in a wait-and-see situation.” He explained that the nerve must begin functioning properly again before Meadows can return to the field, adding, “It could be short-term, or it could linger a little.” While no definitive recovery schedule has been established, Hinch expressed optimism about the progress, noting that a diagnosis and treatment plan are now in place, setting Meadows on a promising path forward.
