From rotoworld:

Tigers placed LHP Kenny Rogers on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 25, with a fatigued arm.

Rogers will undergo further tests Thursday. The DL stint is retroactive, meaning Rogers could return as soon as April 9. "I don't think it's a long-term thing," general manager Dave Dombrowski said. Chad Durbin will make at least one start in Rogers' place, and Bobby Seay will get the open roster spot.

:rock::rock:

Wasn't it Phil Rogers who said last month that he can't see why guys like Kenny Rogers and Todd Jones can't pitch out of their minds again this year, despite being older than dirt - and that that was the reason why the Tigers would be hard to beat again??

Boo-hoo, so sad about Rogers.
At least he's still got some tasty ass chicken. Not ass chicken, tasty ass chicken. There's a difference.

Thank God Steve Phillips picked Bonderman to win AL Cy Young. Now we know he'll land on the DL next, since the Phillips curse is working in full course...

Who the hell picks one of the most inconsistent pitchers in the game for Cy Young, especially when there's this guy named Johan Santana in the same league. Bonderman can be unbelievable one start and absolutely awful the next.

I suspect we'll see a lot of "fatigued arms" on the Tigers this year.

He just had surgery and is expected to miss the first half of the season.

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) - Kenny Rogers had surgery Friday to remove a blood clot from his left shoulder and repair arteries, and the Detroit Tigers pitcher likely will be sidelined for the first half of the season.

The 42-year-old left-hander had the operation in Dallas. He is expected to start throwing in six-to-eight weeks, and Tigers president Dave Dombrowski said the earliest Rogers would return to the rotation is July.

Detroit placed Rogers on the 15-day disabled list on Thursday. Chad Durbin, who made the team as a reliever, will move into the Tigers' rotation.

Rogers is on the DL for the first time since 2001.

Rogers has gone from a hard-throwing pitcher to a crafty one during a career that began in 1989 with the Texas Rangers and included stops with Oakland, Minnesota and both teams in New York.

He went 17-8 with a 3.84 ERA last year during his first season with the Tigers, then gained notoriety during the postseason when he had a patch of dirt on his pitching hand. He won all three of his postseason starts and didn't allow a run in 23 innings.

Rogers was 2-0 with a 2.05 ERA in five exhibition starts. With Rogers out of the rotation, Nate Robertson will pitch in place of Rogers on Wednesday in Detroit's second game. Jeremy Bonderman starts Monday's opener against Toronto. Justin Verlander goes to third in the rotation, followed by Mike Maroth and Durbin
