He missed two games after leaving Tuesday's game with a hand contusion, and this is about as quick of a return as owners could hope for. So far Hunter has staved off Father Time to some degree, slashing .271/.308/.455 with 15 home runs in 95 games this season.

Hunter (hand) remains out of the Tigers' lineup Thursday against the Yankees. X-rays were negative after Hunter was hit on his left hand by a pitch Tuesday, but he's set to miss a second straight start as a result of the injury. J.D. Martinez will once again man right field in his absence with Ezequiel Carrera in center. Continue to consider Hunter day-to-day ahead of Friday's series opener in Toronto.

Hunter (hand) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Martinez will man right field, and Ezequiel Carrera will enter the lineup in center field.

Hunter left Tuesday's game with a hand contusion and X-rays were negative, MLive's Chris Iott reports. This is excellent news, as Hunter's reaction following getting hit by a Dellin Betances pitch in the ninth inning suggested that there could have been a fracture. There's no official timetable for his return, but he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Hunter left Tuesday's game in the ninth inning after being hit on the left hand by a pitch, MLive's Chris Iott reports. He appeared to be in significant pain, and isn't one to typically come out of a game, so this could be serious. Dellin Betances, who touched 100 mph earlier in the inning, was on the mound for the Yankees, so it certainly should come as a surprise that Hunter was in pain after getting hit. Consider him day-to-day for now, and Don Kelly would be the likely replacement in the outfield should Hunter miss some time.
