DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Tigers activated outfielder Akil Baddoo and pitcher Alex Faedo from the injured list on Friday ahead of their series against the Toronto Blue Jays.

The team has recently welcomed back several key players to the lineup.

Left-handed pitcher Tarik Skubal (elbow) made his season debut on Tuesday, pitching four hitless innings, while lefty Eduardo Rodriguez (finger) returned from a five-week absence on Wednesday.

Faedo (finger) had been sidelined since June 3, while Baddoo (quad) had been out since June 9. Center fielder Riley Greene (leg) is expected to be activated on Saturday.

Faedo was 1-3 with a 5.54 in five starts before his injury, while Baddoo was hitting .231 with three homers and 16 RBIs in 24 games.

Greene led the Tigers in most offensive categories before getting hurt, and still leads in batting average (.296) and on-base percentage (.362).

Faedo and Baddoo were in the lineup Friday against Toronto.
