Phil Hughes was forced to leave early against the Tigers in Game 3 of the ALCS.

He left with no outs in the fourth inning after surrendering a home run to Delmon Young and walking Andy Dirks. The score was 1-0 in favor of the Tigers when he was replaced by David Phelps.

Craig Sager of TBS reported that Hughes was forced to leave because of a "herniated lumber disc," an issue he dealt with in 2011.
