Todd Jones injured

Todd Jones, recently demoted as Tigers closer, could end up on the DL after he "felt something" while pitching on Wednesday. This second setback for Jones (notes section of story) in the last handful of days could mean the 40-year-old's time as a closer could be coming to an end.

Fantasy Impact: This is your typical "adding insult to injury," or in this case it would be adding an injury to the already insulted Jones, who is becoming less and less likely to regain his closer role. The Tigers acquired Kyle Farnsworth from the Yankees in exchange for Ivan Rodriguez earlier in the day. Jones' injury and possible DL stint would leave him out of the equation potentially for good.
