Willi Castro - Takes seat TuesdayCastro is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.
ImpactAfter seeing a run of four consecutive starts come to an end in the second game of Monday's doubleheader, Castro will remain on the bench Tuesday while Victor Reyes gets another turn in right field. The two players still look to be part of a timeshare at the position, especially while Castro continues to swing a hot bat. Unless he's used as a pinch hitter off the bench, Castro will put his six-game hitting streak on hold Tuesday.

Drew Hutchison - Officially joins active rosterThe Tigers selected Hutchison's contract from Triple-A Toledo ahead of his start Tuesday versus Cleveland.
ImpactHutchison is back with the Tigers after they designated him for assignment June 22. The righty has a 4.81 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 24.1 innings across 12 appearances this season. His longest outing was a 4.2-inning effort June 19, so it's unlikely he exceeds five innings of work Tuesday.

Sam Howard - Dropped from 40-man rosterThe Tigers designated Howard for assignment Tuesday.
ImpactHe'll cede his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Drew Hutchison, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Toledo ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Guardians. After being claimed off waivers from the Pirates in mid-May, Howard had pitched exclusively at the Triple-A level with his new organization. In 14 appearances out of the Toledo bullpen, Howard posted a 3.75 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 12 innings.
