Royals-Tigers Preview 5-1-12
(AP) -- Already mired in a slump, the Detroit Tigers learned Monday they won't have Delmon Young for the next week.
The Tigers will try to overcome his absence by continuing their recent success against the Kansas City Royals during a rain-shortened series that begins Tuesday night.
Young was suspended for seven days by Major League Baseball on Monday following his arrest Friday on a hate crime harassment charge. The outfielder was charged with yelling anti-Semitic epithets during an early-morning incident outside a hotel in New York.
Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski said Young, batting .242 with five RBIs, has no plans to appeal the ruling. He's expected to undergo a treatment program.
