The Detroit Tigers placed four-time All-Star closer Kenley Jansen on the 15-day injured list Thursday with pelvic inflammation.
Jansen, who worked through a right groin issue earlier in the season, exited Detroit's 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday after nine pitches in the ninth inning. The right-hander called for the trainers after walking Mike Trout on four pitches.
Jansen, 38, is 1-3 with seven saves and a 4.80 ERA in 18 relief appearances since signing a one-year, $11 million contract with the Tigers in December.
He ranks third in major league history with 483 career saves.
Jansen spent his first 12 seasons (2010-21) with the Los Angeles Dodgers and is 55-43 with a 2.61 ERA in 951 relief appearances. He also pitched for the Atlanta Braves (2022), Boston Red Sox (2023-24) and Angels (2025).
Left-hander Drew Sommers was recalled from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move.
'In the short-term, a bullpen move is the most obvious because of the availability of the 'pen,' Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. 'We're trying to have as full a team as we can.'
Sommers, 25, is 1-0 with one save and a 3.00 ERA in 17 relief appearances this season with the Mud Hens.
