Continues strong start Meadows went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's loss to the White Sox.

Impact Meadows reached base four times in Friday's season opener and followed that up with his first multi-hit effort of the year. The 26-year-old is locked into a spot near the top of Detroit's lineup, so he should be able to put up good numbers right away for his new team, and he's off to a promising start.

Productive in team debut Meadows went 1-for-2 with a triple, three walks and two runs scored in Friday's win over the White Sox.

Impact Batting second in his team debut, Meadows reached base four times and helped spark the Detroit offense. The outfielder has seen his batting average slump the past few seasons after batting .291 in 2019, but he's still found ways to be effective. Last year with Tampa Bay, he recorded 27 home runs and 106 RBI, and he should have plenty of chances to produce with the Tigers.

Good to go for Opening Day Meadows (quadriceps) said Tuesday that he's healthy and ready to start on Opening Day, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Meadows, who was acquired in a trade with the Rays on Monday, exited a Grapefruit League game Sunday with quadriceps tightness. The issue is seemingly a minor one, so Meadows should be ready to debut right away for his new team unless this is a case of a player being overly optimistic about his health.

Dealt to Detroit Meadows (quadriceps) was traded to the Tigers from the Rays on Monday in exchange for Isaac Paredes and a 2022 draft pick, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Meadows was expected to open the year in Tampa Bay as one of the top designated hitter options, but he'll now board a plane to Detroit, where he'll share time at DH with Miguel Cabrera. It's also possible that he sees more time in the outfield, especially with Detroit's top prospect, Riley Greene (foot), expected to remain out until June before becoming the team's starting centerfielder. According to Jon Morosi of MLB Network, Meadows is the favorite to open the new campaign as the starting left fielder. The 26-year-old is coming off the best season of his young career, slashing .234/315/.458 with 27 homers, 106 RBI and four stolen bases in 142 games.

Playing left field Friday Meadows (oblique) is starting in left field and batting sixth in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins.

Impact Meadows missed a few days of Grapefruit League action with the oblique injury, but he served as the designated hitter in Thursday's contest and has been cleared to play the outfield Friday. Manager Kevin Cash declared it a minor injury, and the 26-year-old's quick return backs up that claim. Barring a setback, Meadows should be ready to go for Opening Day.

Back in lineup as DH Meadows (oblique) will bat fifth while serving as Tampa Bay's designated hitter in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Manager Kevin Cash acknowledged Wednesday that Meadows was dealing with only a minor oblique injury, and the 26-year-old's inclusion in the lineup a day later seemingly backs up the skipper's comments. The Rays will ease Meadows back into the starting nine in a non-defensive role, but if all goes well Thursday, he could be cleared to pick up a start in the outfield before spring training comes to a close.
