Granderson to Miss Opener

Curtis Granderson has been placed on the 15-day disabled list, and will now miss Opening Day.

The Detroit Tigers center fielder broke a finger after getting nailed on his right hand by a Travis Blackley pitch during the fourth inning of Saturday's contest against the Philadelphia Phillies, which was called due to rain.

Granderson was hitting .306 with 8 RBIs over 15 games this preseason, which begs the question: is Spring Training too long?
