Tigers' Justin Wilson: Won't throw next few days

Wilson (hamstring) won't throw for the next few days, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

The Tigers were hopeful that Wilson would be able to pitch in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals, but he ended up being scratched from the outing after incurring some hamstring tightness. While there doesn't seem to be any concern that Wilson is at risk of missing the start of the season, he'll be temporarily shut down with the hope that it resolves the issue. Wilson is on track to serve as one of the top setup men to closer Francisco Rodriguez after striking out 65 batters in 58.2 innings last season.
