DAZ CAMERON NEWS

Primed for everyday role Cameron will start in right field and bat eighth in the first game Tuesday's doubleheader with the Twins.

Impact Cameron will be making his sixth consecutive start and looks like he could get the chance to play regularly against both left- and right-handed pitching following Robbie Grossman's (neck) placement on the 10-day injured list Monday. Through 36 plate appearances with Detroit this season, Cameron is slashing a woeful .156/.250/.156.

Getting fourth straight start Cameron will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Since being called up from Triple-A Toledo on May 16, Cameron has produced a modest .542 OPS, but that hasn't stopped manager A.J. Hinch from giving the outfielder steady playing time. Cameron will pick up his fourth consecutive start Sunday, this time manning right field in place of Robbie Grossman, who is serving as Detroit's designated hitter.

Starting Sunday Cameron is starting in center field and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact This will be Cameron's second appearance in a game since getting recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Monday. For the season, the 25-year-old has just one hit in eight at-bats, and he's nothing more than outfield depth at this point.

Makes return to majors The Tigers recalled Cameron from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Impact With both Austin Meadows (illness) and Victor Reyes (quadriceps) heading to the injured list Monday, Cameron will rejoin the big club to provide an additional body in the outfield. Cameron isn't expected to contend for an everyday role while he's up with the big club, as the Tigers are likely to deploy Robbie Grossman, Willi Castro and Derek Hill as their regular outfielders until one of Meadows or Reyes is ready to come off the IL.

Returned to minors Cameron was returned to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

Impact Cameron served as the Tigers 29th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies. He started the second game, going 0-for-2 with a strikeout. Cameron has gotten off to a terrible start with Toledo, as he's hitting just .185/.233/.259 across 30 plate appearances.

29th man Saturday Cameron joined the Tigers as the 29th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact He has 12 strikeouts in seven games at Triple-A, so Cameron may be up for his glove more than his bat. He is not in the lineup for Game 1 of the twin bill.

Sent to Triple-A Cameron was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following Wednesday's loss to the Yankees.

Impact Cameron has been with the big-league club the past five days but appeared in only one game, going 0-for-3 with a walk, a run and two strikeouts. He'll return to Toledo, where he went 4-for-24 with 10 strikeouts over the first six games of the season.

Swipes bag in Saturday's loss Cameron went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Royals.

Impact He accounted for Detroit's only run of the day, coming home on a Dustin Garneau double after drawing a free pass and swiping second with two outs in the second inning. Cameron was getting the start in center field with southpaw Kris Bubic on the mound for Kansas City, and he could serve on the short side of a platoon with Akil Baddoo for the time being. Some time over the summer, however, top prospect Riley Greene (foot) will claim center for himself once he's healthy and the Tigers decide he's ready for his big-league debut.

Starting in center Saturday Cameron is starting in center field and batting seventh in Saturday's game against the Royals.

Impact Kansas City is starting lefty Kris Bubic, so the Tigers will shift Akil Baddoo and Austin Meadows to the bench, opening up a spot for Cameron in center. The 25-year-old just joined the MLB roster Friday and hasn't recorded an at-bat yet this season.

Joins active roster Cameron was recalled by the Tigers on Friday.

Impact Cameron will replace starting pitcher Casey Mize, who landed on the injured list with a sprained right elbow. His stay on the roster may be a brief one, as Derek Hill (hamstring) could return soon. Cameron has hit just .194/.259/.325 through 52 career major-league games.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't make Opening Day club The Tigers optioned Cameron to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Impact Cameron turned in an .820 OPS over his eight spring games heading into Monday, but that solid showing over a small sample wasn't enough to override what's been a rather unremarkable body of work at the MLB level over parts of the past two seasons. In 174 career MLB plate appearances, Cameron has produced a .194/.259/.325 slash line with a 32.8 percent strikeout rate. The Tigers will let him play on an everyday basis at Toledo to begin the 2022 campaign, but he should be near the top of the list for a promotion if the big club needs another outfielder at any point.

MARCH 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Has big game Saturday Cameron went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.

Impact Cameron is likely looking at a reserve outfield role at best to begin the season, as the Tigers have the likes of Robbie Grossman, Akil Baddoo and top prospect Riley Greene as potential starters. Cameron didn't do much to earn more playing time in 2021, posting a .194/.278/.359 slash line across 35 games, so a good spring would help his standing in the organization.

MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in season finale Cameron went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two strikeouts in Sunday's 5-2 win over the White Sox.

Impact Cameron split time between Triple-A Toledo and the major-league club this year, but he started each of the final three games of the regular season and recorded hits in each of those appearances. The 24-year-old played in 35 big-league games during the 2021 campaign and hit .194 with four homers, 16 runs, 13 RBI and six stolen bases.

On bench versus lefty Cameron is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Impact The righty-hitting Cameron will take a seat Monday versus southpaw Dallas Keuchel, an indication that Cameron may be falling out of favor even as a short-side platoon player in the outfield. Since returning to the majors just over a week ago, Cameron has appeared in five games and has gone 3-for-11 with a 2:6 BB:K.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Remains on bench Cameron will sit Saturday against Kansas City.

Impact Cameron started two games in a row to begin the week but has now been on the bench for two straight. Robbie Grossman will again move to right field, while Akil Baddoo starts in left.

Out of lineup Cameron is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Cameron started a pair of games in right field but will now retreat to the bench despite the fact that he went 3-for-5 with two walks and a steal in those games. Akil Baddoo, Victor Reyes and Robbie Grossman will be the outfielders for the Tigers.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Records three hits Tuesday Cameron went 3-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

Impact Cameron was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, and Tuesday's hits were his first at the MLB level since the end of August. The 24-year-old outfielder could see some semi-regular playing time down the stretch with Derek Hill (knee) on the injured list, though Victor Reyes, who recorded four hits himself Tuesday, could also see a larger role.

Draws second straight start Cameron will start in right field and bat seventh Tuesday against the White Sox.

Impact Cameron will pick up a second straight start after going 0-for-2 with a walk in Monday's 4-3 win, which marked the 24-year-old's first appearance for the big club since Aug. 28. With Derek Hill sent to miss the remainder of the season with a sprained knee, Cameron and Victor Reyes are expected to work in a timeshare for the remaining spot in Detroit's everyday outfield alongside regulars Akil Baddoo and Robbie Grossman.
