The Tigers confirmed Thursday that Jose Iglesias (shins) is unlikely to play this season. Iglesias was diagnosed earlier this week with stress fractures in both of his shins -- originally believed to be shin splints. He will be limited to non-weight conditioning for the next 4-6 months. It's a tough blow for the Tigers, who don't have a good backup option at shortstop and were relying on Iglesias to provide his usual brand of elite-level defense at the most important position on the infield.
