Thu, 24 May 2012 12:00:43 -0700

The Detroit Tigers have placed OF Austin Jackson (abdomen) on the 15-day disabled list because of an abdominal strain.

Fantasy Tip: This seemed inevitable and is a welcome transaction from fantasy owners at this point. Jackson will be eligible for activation in about a week, but it's hard to predict whether he'll ready by then, either. Quintin Berry has some short-term value in AL leagues because of his ability to steal bases. He doesn't have great BA skills, but he'll take a walk, at least.
