Hellickson (9-8, 4.60 ERA) suffered cramping during his start Monday, but he felt better Tuesday and had been hopeful of making his next start Saturday night in Cincinnati.

The Detroit Tigers placed starting pitchers Daniel Norris and Anibal Sanchez on the 15-day disabled list.

Norris, a left-hander, had been expected to go on the DL after he left his start Wednesday after 4 1/3 innings due to a right oblique strain. The right-handed Sanchez (10-10, 4.99 ERA) has a strained right rotator cuff. (Editing by Frank Pingue)
