Several Detroit Tigers players were not happy with Colby Rasmus for a slide at least one found worthy of a suspension.Infante left Wednesday's game after a hard slide from Blue Jays center fielder Colby Rasmus. X-rays came back negative, but the team stated he has a bruise on his shin. He was walking around with a noticable limp. Manager Jim Leyland confirmed that there was no structural damage in his knee.
Several Tigers players and fans were unhappy with Rasmus' slide, including Infante himself.
"I don't think he needed to slide like that. I think that's dirty," Infante said, per Jason Beck of MLB.com, "That's a dirty play. I know you come in to break up a double play, but not like that."
Infante is hitting .309/.340/.447 on the year with six home runs in 309 plate appearances. Ramon Santiago will take his place at second base for the time being.
