Gets call to big leagues The Tigers recalled Cameron from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Thursday's game against the Mariners. He'll start in center field and bat sixth in his 2021 big-league debut, according to...

Impact Cameron will join the active roster as a replacement for injured outfielder Derek Hill (shoulder) after contributing a .338/.400/.558 slash line with nine extra-base hits and three stolen bases in 85 plate appearances at Triple-A this season. In his first taste of the big leagues in 2020, Cameron struggled to make consistent contact (32.2 percent strikeout rate) and submitted a lowly .220 on-base average, but the Tigers are hoping his latest trip to the majors goes more smoothly. Though he'll draw into the lineup Thursday against Mariners lefty Justus Sheffield, the right-handed-hitting Cameron could have to settle for short-side platoon duty in center field with the lefty-hitting Akil Baddoo while Hill is on the mend.

Back in action Wednesday Cameron (wrist) was activated from the injured list and started in center field Wednesday for Triple-A Toledo, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 24-year-old was sidelined for the start of the minor-league season by a fractured right wrist, but he's in the lineup for the Mud Hens on Wednesday. Cameron made his big-league debut with Detroit last season and had a .193/.220/.263 slash line in 17 games.

Out with fractured wrist Cameron was placed on Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured right wrist, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Cameron may have picked up the injury while playing at the Tigers' alternate training site over the past few weeks after he failed to crack the Opening Day roster. A formal target date for Cameron's return to game action hasn't been established, but Jason Beck of MLB.com relays that the Tigers anticipate the outfielder will be ready to play in a couple of weeks.

Optioned to Triple-A Cameron was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Impact The 24-year-old missed the first couple weeks of camp with an elbow injury and was unable to crack the Opening Day roster. Cameron made his big-league debut for the Tigers last season and posted a .193/.220/.263 slash line in 59 plate appearances, and he's a strong bet to return to the majors at some point in 2021.

Making first start this spring Cameron (elbow) is in the lineup for Saturday's spring game against the Phillies, according to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News.

Impact Cameron has been brought along slowly this spring due to the elbow injury he suffered during Winter League, but he took his first two at-bats of the spring Friday and will be in the lineup for the first time a day later. Cameron will be eased into action as the designated hitter, but it should not be long before he is back in his customary spot in the outfield.

Taking swings Wednesday Cameron (elbow) will take live batting practice Wednesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cameron has dealt with a right elbow issue since before camp, but he's nearing his spring debut. If all goes well during his live batting practice, he's scheduled to take at-bats as the designated hitter Friday before starting as the DH on Saturday. Although the 24-year-old hasn't been cleared for outfield work, he appears to be progressing well in his recovery.

Nearly ready to hit Cameron (elbow) will take live batting practice next week and could get into a game as a designated hitter by the end of the week, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Cameron has been dealing with a right elbow issue since before camp began. While he's expected to start hitting soon, he's not yet cleared to play the outfield. Cameron was already facing a potentially difficult battle to claim an Opening Day roster spot after posting a .483 OPS in his 17-game debut last season, and the lost practice time this spring can't help his chances even if he's fully cleared to play soon.

Still increasing activities Cameron (elbow) was tracking pitches but not swinging Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Cameron has been limited to begin spring training due to a right elbow injury he sustained while playing in Puerto Rico during the offseason. The 24-year-old hasn't yet resumed a full throwing program, but manager AJ Hinch was hopeful he'd be able to take batting practice within the coming days. Cameron will likely be back to full speed in time for Opening Day, but he could have to settle for a backup role in the outfield if he doesn't get enough opportunities during spring training.

Still bothered by elbow Tigers manager AJ Hinch said Sunday that Cameron remains limited due to the right elbow injury he sustained while playing in Puerto Rico during the offseason, Chris McCosky of The...

Impact Hinch noted that while Cameron is taking part in team meetings along with batting and running drills, the 24-year-old has not yet been cleared to resume a full throwing program. Cameron isn't believed to have experienced any setbacks in his recovery from the injury, so the Tigers are seemingly just ramping him up gradually in the early stages of spring training. Cameron should be back to full health by Opening Day, but the elbow injury may be enough to keep him from the outside looking in for the Tigers' starting center field job.

Should be ready for spring training Cameron, who left the Puerto Rican Winter League with an arm injury, appears healthy and is expected to be ready for spring training, the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact He'll fight for at-bats in the Tigers outfield, and while he isn't guaranteed anything, it's not like JaCoby Jones, Victor Reyes and Robbie Grossman are insurmountable obstacles, either.

Dealing with sore arm Cameron went to Florida to have his sore right arm examined Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Cameron had been playing in the Puerto Rican Winter League but had only appeared in two games (going hitless in both) before the arm troubles popped up. Whether or not the issue will affect him heading into the 2021 season remains to be seen.

Doubles twice in loss Cameron went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4, 10-inning loss to the Twins.

Impact Batting ninth, Cameron provided some punch from the bottom of the order. The 23-year-old rookie is still batting just .154, though he does now have two multi-hit performances across his last three starts, and he should continue to get regular playing time in the final week of the season.

Two-hit effort Saturday Cameron went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in Saturday's 5-2 win over Cleveland.

Impact Cameron came into the contest batting just .071 on the season, so it was nice to see the 23-year-old contribute two hits for the first time in his MLB career. He should continue to see playing time down the stretch as the Tigers' playoff chances fade and they look toward the 2021 season.
