Tigers placed OF Austin Jackson on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring.

Jackson was batting .272/.333/.371 with two homers, 11 RBI, five stolen bases and 33 runs scored in 34 games.

Austin Jackson is leading all of baseball with 28 runs scored this season.

The outfielder is hitting .293/.356/.407 with two homers and 10 RBI for the year, and he's swiped five bases. The steals in particular are nice after A-Jax fell off to 12 pilfers last season.

Austin Jackson struck out all three times up Monday against Marlins lefty Wade LeBlanc.

Jackson also swiped his second base of the spring. He's hitting a modest .229, but it comes with just four strikeouts in 36 at-bats. Last year, he struck out 20 times in 70 spring at-bats.
