Sent to 60-day IL
The Tigers transferred Hurter (back) to the 60-day injured list Friday.
Analysis
Hurter initially landed on the injured list Sunday due to lumbar spine inflammation, and his move to the 60-day IL will ensure that he remains sidelined through the All-Star break. He'll give up his place on the 40-man roster to Beau Brieske (thigh), who was activated off the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

Shelved with spine inflammation
The Tigers placed Hurter on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to lumbar spine inflammation.
Analysis
Hurter was lifted from his most recent relief appearance Friday due to what manager A.J. Hinch referred to as a back issue, and follow-up tests revealed that the lefty reliever was contending with lumbar inflammation. Detroit recalled Ricky Vanasco from Triple-A Toledo to replace Hurter in the bullpen.
