Cabrera's hit in 9th lifts Tigers to 4-3 win over Guardians

Miguel Cabrera hit a game-ending RBI single in the ninth inning with his third hit Thursday night, lifting the Detroit Tigers to a 4-3 win over the Cleveland Guardians

Records first MLB win Faedo (1-1) allowed two runs on six hits across 5.1 innings to earn the win Sunday against the Guardians. He walked two and struck out two.

Impact Faedo had his Saturday start postponed due to inclement weather, so he had to wait an extra day before recording his first MLB win in his fourth career start. The righty has looked good in the early going, as he now has a 3.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 21 innings. He's not missing a ton of bats, however, with just 14 strikeouts. That gives Faedo a smaller margin of error, but he'll look to keep rolling in his next scheduled start Friday against this same Cleveland squad.

MAY 22, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Saturday's matchup postponed Faedo and the Tigers won't play against the Guardians on Saturday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

Impact Faedo was slated to make another turn through the rotation Saturday, but he'll be unable to do so after the game was postponed. The game will be made up July 14, while Faedo will get an extra day of rest prior to starting in Sunday's series finale, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Staying in rotation Faedo is listed as the Tigers' starting pitcher for Saturday's game at Cleveland, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Faedo's inclusion in the rotation for a fourth straight turn comes as little surprise after he once again turned in another serviceable outing while taking a no-decision in Monday's win over the Rays. He struck out four over 5.2 innings while allowing one earned run and five baserunners, lowering his ERA and WHIP to 2.87 and 1.28, respectively. The Tigers are expected to get Matt Manning (shoulder) back from the injured list early next week, but Faedo should have the chance to stick around as the team's fifth starter until one of Casey Mize (elbow), Tyler Alexander (elbow) or Michael Pineda (finger) is cleared to return from the shelf.

MAY 16, 2022 • TAMPABAY.COM

Back in big leagues The Tigers recalled Faedo from Triple-A Toledo ahead of his scheduled start Monday in Tampa Bay.

Impact Though he was optioned to Toledo following his May 10 start against the Athletics, Faedo is eligible to rejoin the big club before the minimum 10 days after Detroit placed outfielder Austin Meadows (illness) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Faedo has looked good across his first two big-league starts, covering five frames both times out while allowing a combined total of four earned runs on 12 hits and three walks. Assuming he doesn't completely implode Monday in his first career road start, Faedo should stick in the rotation and pick up his second start of the week Sunday in Cleveland.

Chapman error sets up Rays' big inning in 3-0 win over Jays

Matt Chapman’s throwing error allowed Tampa Bay to break a scoreless tie in the sixth inning, and the Rays went on to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-0

MAY 15, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Confirmed as Monday's starter Faedo will start Monday against the Rays, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Faedo's last two appearances have come in the majors, but both came during doubleheaders, so the Tigers were allowed to send him to the minors between starts. He'll be up as a normal member of the roster for Monday's start, so the Tigers will have to make a decision at that point about whether or not he'll remain in the big leagues.

MAY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to be recalled Monday The Tigers are expected to recall Faedo from Triple-A Toledo to start Monday against the Rays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact After being designated as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader with the Athletics, Faedo was the obvious choice to move off the 26-man active roster after the twin bill was completed. Before heading back to the minors, however, Faedo delivered another promising five-inning effort, allowing just two runs and striking out seven in a loss. With all of Matt Manning (shoulder), Casey Mize (elbow) and Tyler Alexander (elbow) still on the injured list, Faedo should be on track to make a third straight turn through the big-league rotation. Detroit will need to place another player on an injured or inactive list by Monday in order to make room on the active roster for Faedo's return.

Logue pitches gem in 2nd start, A's pound Tigers 9-0

Zach Logue pitched seven scoreless innings in his second major league start and the Oakland Athletics spoiled the debut of Joey Wentz by thumping the floundering Detroit Tigers 9-0

MAY 12, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sent back to Triple-A Faedo was optioned to Triple-A Toledo after Tuesday's doubleheader against the A's.

Impact The 26-year-old started Game 2 of the twin bill and allowed only two earned runs over five innings, but he was charged with the loss since Detroit managed only one run. It's not a surprise Faedo is returning to Toledo since he was the 27th man for the doubleheader, but he likely pitched well enough to earn another look in the rotation later this season.

Impact Making his second career start, Faedo once again allowed two runs across five innings. However, the righty improved upon the one strikeout he had in that previous outing last Wednesday. Faedo has so far been used as an extra starter during doubleheaders, though the 26-year-old could push for a more regular rotation spot if he continues to pitch well. He's currently slated to start again versus the Rays on Monday, but the Tigers are also waiting on the returns of Matt Manning (shoulder), Tyler Alexander (elbow) and Casey Mize (elbow) in the next few weeks, so Faedo will likely shift back to Triple-A Toledo at some point.

MAY 10, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Called up for start Faedo was called up as expected ahead of his scheduled start in the second half of Tuesday's doubleheader against Oakland.

Impact Faedo made his major-league debut in the nightcap of a doubleheader against the Pirates on Wednesday, escaping with two runs allowed in five innings despite striking out just one batter and giving up eight hits. He'll face another of the league's lesser lineups in his second career start.

Impact The rookie right-hander will be designated as the 27th man for the twin bill, just as he was for the Tigers' recent doubleheader last week against the Pirates. He made his MLB debut that day, working five innings and allowing two runs en route to taking a no-decision in Game 2 of the doubleheader. Detroit will call up Joey Wentz from Triple-A Toledo to start Wednesday against Oakland, and either he or Faedo is expected to stay in the rotation the next time the Tigers require a fifth starter May 16 in Tampa Bay.

Impact The Tigers plan to designated Faedo as their 27th man for the twin bill, just as they did for their doubleheader last Wednesday against the Pirates. Faedo made his MLB debut in the second game that day versus Pittsburgh, taking a no-decision after working five innings and giving up two runs on eight hits and a walk. Assuming he gets another starting nod against Oakland, Faedo will likely be sent back to Toledo immediately after the outing.

Impact Faedo played with fire a bit by allowing nearly two baserunners per inning, but he limited damage in his MLB debut. The 26-year-old dealt with Tommy John surgery as well as the cancellation of the 2020 minor-league season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so his ascension to the majors hit a few roadblocks the past couple years. An extra arm was needed for Wednesday's doubleheader and the Tigers have another twin bill set for Tuesday against the Athletics; therefore, Faedo may get another turn, but he'll likely head to Triple-A Toledo after that point.
