September 5, 1971
The Detroit Tigers announced today that Willie Horton has been put on the 15 day disabled list retroactive to August 28. Horton was beaned in a game in Chicago on August 27 and has been slow to recover resulting in his being placed on the DL.
In other news, the Chicago White Sox held a press conference this morning and announced that 2nd baseman Mike Andrews will miss the rest of the regular season. Andrews was injured in a collision at 1st base during a game against the Minnesota Twins on September 1. X-rays have revealed a broken wrist that will sideline him the rest of the year. Mike was having a career year this season, leading the AL with a .338BA. Having only 364 at bats at this point in the season, Andrews will not qualify for the batting title even if his average still leads the league at seasons end.
