New York trailed the Tigers 3-0 after Game 4 Wednesday night was postponed by a forecast of rain. The game was rescheduled for Thursday.
Jeter is the latest of the team's longtime stars to go down with an injury. Mariano Rivera was lost for the season in May when he hurt his knee during batting practice.
This is the first time since 1981 the Yankees are playing in the postseason without both Jeter and Rivera.
This wasn't the first time Jeter had recent trouble with his left leg. Manager Joe Girardi pulled him from a game at Boston on Sept. 12 because of what Jeter said was a sprained ankle. Jeter was a designated hitter for the next four games.
Jeter fouled a ball off his left foot in Game 3 of the division series, again was taken out early, and was at DH the next day before returning to shortstop.
