Swisher to have MRI

RF Nick Swisher left yesterday's game against Detroit after drawing a walk in the third inning due to a tight left hamstring and will undergo an MRI.  He struck out in the bottom of the first and made a putout in the top of the third on a line drive hit by Tigers CF Austin Jackson, a play for which he barely had to move.  Swisher was then walked by RHP Max Scherzer in the bottom of the third and stayed in the game for two pitches to DH Raul Ibanez and a pick-off attempt at first base, but he was then removed for PR Andruw Jones after complaining of the tightness.

Swisher currently leads the American League in extra-base hits and is second in runs batted in.
