I like to check in on the "Tigers in the Minors" page every other week or so and he's had "TBD" for his classification (A, AA, etc) and a blank stat line all year. Has he been hurt?

he's playing class A short season according to his profile on milb. Their season doesn't start until June 17. He was probably doing an extended spring training. His status is still listed as active, so he's not hurt.

Laird played short season ball for Williamsport (Phillies affiliate) of the New York-Penn League last season. Short season ball does not begin for a few weeks. Laird is not listed on the rosters of either of the Phillies Single A clubs, so he is most probably at extended spring training with the other players who will be playing short season ball and soon to signed recent draft picks. Injured players often stay behind to rehab at extended spring training.

ETA: LINK Gives a detailed account of extended spring training.

He's been in extended spring training with an injury. Will probably start with either their GCL rookie team or short season A to get live ABs before moving him up to low A.
