Detroit Tigers center fielder Cameron Maybin suffered a non-displaced fracture of his left wrist after being hit by a pitch in spring training.
The team announced Thursday that Maybin will be out four to six weeks while the wrist heals.
Maybin is in his first season with the the Tigers after he was acquired from the Atlanta Braves in November. The injury likely will keep Maybin from playing in the regular-season opener and possibly until May.
With Maybin missing, Anthony Gose is expected to take the starting role in center field.
Last season, Maybin batted .267 with 10 home runs in 141 games for the Braves.
