DETROIT -- The Tigers appeared to dodge a potential problem after second baseman Jonathan Schoop was hit on the right wrist by a pitch during Tuesday night's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Schoop departed in the fourth inning with a right wrist contusion following the pitch from Adrian Houser.
Manager Ron Gardenhire said after the game Schoop was OK. He is expected to play Wednesday.
Schoop has been a significant contributor after the Tigers acquired him in the offseason.
He's hitting .295 with a team-high eight home runs for Detroit, which has worked its way into contention for a spot in the expanded postseason.
The Tigers broke open Tuesday's game with five runs in the fifth inning en route to an 8-3 victory over the Brewers.
