Spencer Torkelson - Provides offense in win Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Athletics.
Impact Torkelson delivered his 33rd double of the season in this one, though it was his third-inning single that drove in the only two runs. The 24-year-old has had a nice sophomore campaign, as he's now up to 88 RBI across 153 games. He's collected 19 of those RBI in 21 games this month.

Alex Lange - Earns four-out save Lange allowed a hit in 1.1 scoreless innings Sunday. He struck out two and picked up a save over the Athletics.
Impact Lange allowed a leadoff double to Shea Langeliers in the ninth inning but needed just 16 pitches to record four outs and close out the 2-0 win. Lange blew two of his previous three save chances entering Sunday's game. He now has 25 in 31 opportunities alongside a 3.84 ERA and a 76:44 K:BB this season.

Eduardo Rodriguez - Tosses seven shutout frames Rodriguez (12-9) allowed five hits and four walks over seven scoreless innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over Oakland.
Impact Rodriguez found himself in trouble a few times but was able to put out fires all afternoon in the scoreless outing. He rebounded well after being tagged with nine runs in his previous two starts. The veteran lefty owns a 3.40 ERA on the year and a 4.08 ERA in 10 starts since the beginning of August. Rodriguez's next start is currently lined up to be at home against the Guardians.

Akil Baddoo - Resting versus lefty Baddoo isn't in the Tigers' lineup Sunday versus Oakland.
Impact As lefty JP Sears prepares to start on the mound, the Tigers will keep the left-handed bat of Baddoo on the bench to start Sunday's contest. Andy Ibanez will start in left field and bat second.
SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kerry Carpenter - Idle against lefty Carpenter isn't starting Sunday against the Athletics.
Impact The lefty-hitting Carpenter will take a seat with fellow lefty JP Sears on the mound for the A's. Matt Vierling will move to right field while Carpenter rests, allowing Tyler Nevin to start at the hot corner.
SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Zach McKinstry - Sitting against lefty McKinstry isn't in the Tigers' lineup Sunday against Oakland.
Impact McKinstry will sit down Sunday with left-hander JP Sears on the mound for Oakland. Zack Short will start at the keystone and bat eighth while McKinstry is out.
SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Zach McKinstry - Scores lone run Saturday McKinstry went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Athletics.
Impact McKinstry was the only Detroit player with multiple hits, and he had one of only two extra-base knocks for the team. The utility player often serves in a leadoff role, which he did Saturday, but the Tigers can struggle to put together much offense, as they're 29th in the majors in runs scored. That limits the upside of McKinstry and other Detroit hitters in run-producing spots.

Joey Wentz - Takes 12th loss in bulk relief Wentz (3-12) took the loss Saturday in Oakland, allowing two runs on three hits over 5.2 innings. He struck out five without issuing any walks.
Impact The 25-year-old was deployed in a bulk relief role, entering in the second frame after Miguel Diaz fired 1.1 scoreless innings operating as the team's opener. In Wentz's longest outing since June 17, he allowed just three hits, but one happened to be a two-run homer that gave Oakland the lead and saddled the southpaw with his 12th loss of the year. Control has been an issue this year, as he had issued 4.1 BB/9 across 97.2 innings prior to Saturday, when Wentz avoided handing out any free passes for just the second time all season. It remains to be seen what role he fulfills in the final week of the campaign.

Jake Rogers - On bench again Saturday Rogers is not in the lineup Saturday against the Athletics.
Impact Rogers gets back-to-back days off after going 0-for-4 during Thursday's win over Oakland. Carson Kelly will start behind the dish in his place and will bat eighth.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Miguel Cabrera - Back on bench Saturday Cabrera is not in the lineup Saturday against the Athletics.
Impact Cabrera played Friday after exiting the game Thursday due to a fouling a ball off his leg. He will get more rest Saturday with Andre Lupicius entering the lineup and Kerry Carpenter taking the designated hitter role.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Miguel Díaz - Opening another game Diaz Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle for Saturday's game against Oakland.
Impact This will be Diaz's third time appearing as an opener in a span of less than a week, as he filled the role Sunday against the Angels and Tuesday against the Dodgers. He threw 1.2 scoreless innings across those two appearances, so he's unlikely to last long before turning the ball over to a bulk reliever, a role which is expected to be filled by Joey Wentz.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Javier Báez - On bench Saturday Baez (back) is not in the lineup Saturday against the Athletics.
Impact Prior to Friday's start, Baez missed three games with back tightness. In his return, he went 2-for-3 with two doubles and a run scored. After a solid game at the plate, the shortstop heads back to the bench. Andy Ibanez will play at second base with Zach McKinstry sliding over to short stop.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Will Vest - Struggles in first loss Vest (2-1) allowed three runs (two earned) on two hits while retiring just a single batter to take the loss Friday against the Athletics.
Impact Starter Sawyer Gipson-Long allowed just one run across five innings, but Vest couldn't keep it up in the sixth. Part of the damage was a home run by Brent Rooker, which was just the third long ball allowed by Vest this season across 45.1 innings. The righty has been solid overall with a 3.18 ERA and 1.15 WHIP, and he should get a few more opportunities to pitch before the schedule wraps up.
