The Detroit Tigers placed third baseman Gio Urshela on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right hamstring strain.

In a corresponding move, Detroit recalled third baseman Buddy Kennedy from Triple-A Toledo.

Urshela, 32, exited the Tigers' 5-4 win at Minnesota on Friday in the second inning after running out a groundout and hobbling off the field. He later told reporters that he has a Grade 1 strain and could be out for two weeks.

"It didn't look good," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Friday. "I thought he was running a little bit funny down to first, and then when he got to first and then bent over, I had a little pit in my stomach. He's going to get evaluated. ... I'm never really optimistic on those type of injuries with his hammy, but we hope for the best."

Urshela came to Detroit as a free agent in the offseason and is batting .298 with six RBIs in 18 games. He missed most of the 2023 season with the Los Angeles Angels because of a fractured pelvis.

The native of Colombia has played for the Cleveland franchise (2015, 2017), Toronto Blue Jays (2018), New York Yankees (2019-21), Minnesota Twins (2022), Angels (2023) and Tigers. Urshela is a career .278 hitter with 64 home runs and 286 RBIs in 682 games.

Kennedy, 25, hit .206 (22-for-107) in 40 games for the Arizona Diamondbacks from 2022-23.
