I think his seventh-inning miscue last night should count as p*rn, too. :)

I guess this is the Iggy Forum contribution to the Iggy Porn thread. Link
 
One day last year, Tigers center fielder Austin Jackson walked through the clubhouse to the team's bat room. As he approached, he saw Iglesias sitting in there.
Iglesias didn't know he was being watched as he played with the cap from a bottle of water. He put it between his thumb and finger and snapped it. It flew a few feet, smacked into the door and bounced back to him. He caught it. He did it again. Caught it again. And again. "I'm like, 'How are you good at that? Who's good at that?'" Jackson says.
Later in the season, Jackson and Iglesias rode together on a golf cart through a tunnel under the stadium on the way to the team bus in Chicago. "He goes 'A.J., watch this.' We're driving the cart. He picks a spot, flicks (a cap) off the wall -- we're driving -- and he catches it," Jackson says. "I'm like, 'Get me off the cart. Get me off the cart.' It was moving and everything. I was like, 'I don't even care anymore. I've seen enough of your weird talent.'"

Per the Detroit Free Press, Iggy has bilateral tibial stress fractures, has had them for an extended period (but they didn't show up on prior tests), and the current question is why didn't they heal? Prescription: 4-6 months of non-weight-bearing and upper-body exercises, followed by further tests. Coming back late in the year is possible but unlikely. Next year looks fine (but why they are so confident, I don't know).
 
The Tigers are looking at internal options. A reporter asks about Drew, but Dombrowski avoids a clear answer.
 
A reporters asks: Why were the fractures hard to detect? MRIs and bone scans showed the bilateral tibial stress reactions, but a CT scan was needed to to show bilateral tibial stress fractures. When did the stress reaction turn into a fracture? Hard to say -- Iggy says the pain got worse this year not before but during spring training. He played early in spring training and felt fine. He had some pain in 2013, but could play with it.
 
Sigh.

Late to respond, but an MRI will show both stress fractures and stress reactions.  The two aren't really that different, just along a spectrum of the same process.  If the inflammation is more severe and more focal, you will favor a stress fracture over a stress reaction.  If someone says "severe stress reaction", thats basically just saying a stress fracture.  A CT may show a faint fracture line, but usually that's visible on certain MRI sequences as well.  I don't know the specifics of Iggy's case, and maybe his CT did show something subtle the MRI didn't.  But in general, the MRI gives you all the info you need. 
 
As to why Jose is having these issues, and why he didn't heal well from the stress reactions and they progressed to stress fractures…. who knows.  Shit happens.
