Tigers see positives in Wentz despite '23 struggles DETROIT -- Joey Wentz hadn’t pitched with a multirun lead since July 29 in Miami, his last win. He hadn’t pitched with a lead of any sort si...

Joey Wentz - Struggles continue Tuesday Wentz allowed five runs (two earned) on six hits across 2.2 innings and did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Reds. He walked three and struck out one.
Impact While three of the runs he allowed were unearned, Wentz still wasn't particularly effective, allowing nine baserunners while only retiring eight batters. The lefty may stick in the rotation with Detroit dealing with a number of injuries, but he can't be trusted in fantasy at this point. Wentz will carry a 6.65 ERA into a potential start Monday against the Dodgers on the road, and he should be avoided in the tough spot.

Andy Ibáñez - Goes deep Tuesday Ibanez went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, two runs scored and two total RBI in Tuesday's 10-inning loss to the Reds.
Impact Ibanez was bumped up to the No. 2 spot in the order and responded with a good game, which included his 11th home run of the season. The utility player has now batted second 10 times this year, though he's primarily been lower in the order. Ibanez may stay where he is after the strong effort, however.

Riley Greene - Still being evaluated Greene (elbow) is still going through medical evaluation while completing daily rehab, the team announced Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact It seems like the decision of whether Greene can return this season still hangs in the balance. He has been getting tests done and seeing doctors, with an announcement from the team expected this week.

Akil Baddoo - Sitting versus left-hander Baddoo is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.
Impact Cincinnati is throwing southpaw Brandon Williamson, so the left-handed hitting Baddoo will take a seat. Matt Vierling will occupy left field for the Tigers in the series opener.
SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Miguel Cabrera - Back in action Tuesday Cabrera (knee) is at designated hitter and batting sixth versus the Reds on Tuesday in his return to the lineup.
Impact It's the first start since Friday for Cabrera, who has dealt with a sore knee lately. The future Hall of Famer carries a lowly .653 OPS into Tuesday's action.
SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Alexander - Throwing on flat ground Alexander (lat) has begun throwing on flat ground, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Alexander has already been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a partial tear in his left lat which he suffered back in early July. It's a good sign that he's throwing again, though, which should set him up to have a relatively normal offseason.

Joey Wentz - Rejoining rotation Tuesday Wentz is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Reds at Comerica Park, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Wentz worked in relief in his last two appearances, with his most recent outing behind a 1.1-inning mop-up outing Sept. 5 against the Yankees. The young southpaw appeared set to stick in the bullpen after the Tigers called up Sawyer Gipson-Long from Triple-A Toledo to start Sunday's series finale against the White Sox, but Detroit may have room for both Gipson-Long and Wentz in the rotation if the club elects to expand to a six-man setup in the wake of Matt Manning's season-ending foot injury. Wentz will be making his 18th start of the season Tuesday and carries a 2-11 record, 6.65 ERA and 1.64 WHIP into the contest.

Joey Wentz - Working in bullpen Wentz made his most recent appearance out of the Tigers bullpen in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Yankees, giving up one earned run on no hits and two walks over 1.1 innings.
Impact Wentz ended up being the pitcher of record in the game, dropping to 2-11 overall on the season. The relief appearance came on the heels of a five-inning outing as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen Aug. 30, when he struck out six while giving up four earned runs on five hits and three walks, also in a matchup with the Yankees. A spot in Detroit's rotation opened up this weekend when Matt Manning (foot) was placed on the 15-day injured list, but rather than appointing Wentz as the team's new No. 5 starter, the Tigers turned to Sawyer Gipson-Long to fill the spot. Gipson-Long picked up a win against the White Sox on Sunday while striking out five over five innings of a two-run ball, so he'll likely remain in the rotation while Wentz sticks in a relief role.

Spencer Torkelson - Doubles, drives in two Sunday Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win over the White Sox.
Impact Torkelson has done much of his damage this year with the long ball, but he managed to make an impact Sunday without going deep. The youngster is off to a good start this month, batting .333 in September with six extra-base hits and nine RBI in just nine games. Torkelson seems primed to finish his second MLB campaign on a high note over the next few weeks.

Alex Lange - Records another save Sunday Lange pitched a clean ninth inning with two strikeouts to record the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the White Sox.
Impact For the second day in a row, Lange shut down Chicago in short order to record a save. The righty now has 23 saves this season, with four of them coming this month. Lange hit a rough patch when he struggled with control earlier this year, but he has seemingly righted the ship, and he could be poised for a strong finish to the season given his recent form.

Sawyer Gipson-Long - Grabs win in debut Gipson-Long (1-0) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits over five innings against the White Sox. He struck out five.
Impact It was an impressive big-league debut from the 25-year-old Gipson-Long, holding the White Sox to two runs to earn the win. The rookie right-hander showcased advanced control, throwing 50 of his 73 pitches for strikes without allowing a walk. Gipson-Long had been struggling a bit in Triple-A, pitching to a 5.45 ERA across 34.2 innings. He could remain in the Tigers' rotation, however, with Matt Manning (foot) set to miss the rest of the season.

Mason Englert - Pulled off rehab assignment Englert (hip) was pulled off his rehab assignment Sunday to undergo further medical evaluation, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Englert had allowed nine earned runs on 16 hits and four walks through 11.1 innings of work with Triple-A Toledo. He's been on the major-league injured list since late July due to left hip tightness and now seems doubtful to make it back to the bigs this year.
