Wilmer Flores - Kicks off rehab assignment Flores (hamstring) began a rehab assignment with High-A West Michigan on Tuesday, striking out one over two scoreless innings while giving up two hits and no walks.
Impact Flores' appearance for West Michigan was his first at any level since July 20 after he had been sidelined with a right hamstring strain. He remains on Double-A Erie's 7-day injured list but should be activated at some point in early September.

Alex Faedo - Slated for multi-inning relief role Faedo will be used in a multi-inning relief role with the Tigers for the time being, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact It's possible Faedo will get a start or two in September if the situation dictates it, but for now the Tigers will see how he fares in a multi-inning bullpen role. He and Joey Wentz could piggyback for some outings in the coming weeks. Faedo holds a 4.98 ERA over 11 starts for Detroit this season.

Javier Báez - Sitting out due to soreness Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Baez is not in the lineup for the second straight game Thursday because "he's beat up a little bit and not feeling 100 percent," Jason Beck of MLB.co...
Impact Hinch didn't specify what exactly Baez is dealing with, but it's probably safe to say he's battling some general soreness but should be ready to return to the lineup over the weekend. Zach McKinstry is playing shortstop for Detroit on Thursday versus the Yankees.

Jake Rogers - Resting for day game Rogers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.
Impact After missing the first two games of the series with a minor hand injury, Rogers returned to the lineup Wednesday and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the Tigers' 6-2 loss. Rogers isn't believed to have suffered a setback with the hand injury Wednesday, so his absence from the lineup Thursday looks to be maintenance-related as the Tigers and Yankees wrap up their series with a day game after a night game.

Akil Baddoo - Sitting Thursday Baddoo is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.
Impact Baddoo will hit the bench for the series finale after going 0-for-7 with four strikeouts and a walk while starting both of the past two contests. With Baddoo taking a seat, Kerry Carpenter will pick up a start in the corner outfield and open up the designated-hitter spot for Miguel Cabrera.
AUGUST 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Vierling - Sitting out Thursday Vierling is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Yankees.
Impact Vierling had started each of the last three contests and 10 of the last 11, but he'll begin this one on the bench. Zach McKinstry will occupy third base.
AUGUST 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Javier Báez - Out of lineup again Baez is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Yankees.
Impact Baez isn't dealing with any known injury, but this will be his second straight game on the bench after he had started each of the previous five contests. Zack Short will handle shortstop for the Tigers.

Joey Wentz - Covers five innings Wednesday Wentz tossed five innings as the bulk pitcher in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Yankees. He allowed four runs on five hits and three walks, while striking out six.
Impact The six strikeouts were nice, but Wentz was largely ineffective once again, pushing his season ERA to 6.65, which would be the worst in the majors if he qualified. Three home runs accounted for most of the damage, and he's now allowed 21 long balls this season in 89.1 innings. Wentz may continue to get some chances as a starter or bulk reliever down the stretch, but he can be avoided in fantasy given his struggles.

Jake Rogers - Launches 16th home run Rogers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Yankees.
Impact Rogers went deep in the third inning, giving him 16 home runs for the season. The catcher has been scuffling this month with just a .172 batting average, though he has gone deep four times in 20 games. Rogers also has a pretty firm grip on the starting job behind the plate with Eric Haase no longer around. Carson Kelly was signed as a depth option but doesn't offer much of a threat to cut into Rogers' playing time.

Spencer Torkelson - Goes deep again Wednesday Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Yankees.
Impact Torkelson went deep in the sixth inning against New York starter Gerrit Cole, giving him 24 home runs this season and nine in August alone. The youngster struck out in his other three at-bats, and he's striking out just under 25 percent of the time on the year. That will be an area for Torkelson to improve upon if he wants to take another step forward in 2024, though he's definitely shown signs of progress in his second MLB campaign,

Casey Mize - Dealing with fatigue Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Mize (elbow) battled some soreness and fatigue while throwing live batting practice Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Mize cut the workout short at 18 pitches, though Hinch expressed optimism that it won't be a significant setback for the 26-year-old right-hander as he completes his recovery from Tommy John surgery. "I think he's fatiguing. I think he's tired," said Hinch. "I don't think he felt particularly great, which is expected." Mize could still perhaps begin a minor-league rehab assignment sometime in September and return to major-league action before the 2023 regular season comes to an end Oct. 1.

Garrett Hill - Sent back to Triple-A Detroit optioned Hill to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact The 27-year-old right-hander heads back to the farm to clear out a 26-man roster spot for Joey Wentz, who is expected to serve as the Tigers' bulk pitcher Wednesday versus the Yankees. Hill has been lit up for 20 runs -- 16 earned -- in 15.2 big-league innings this season.
AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Joey Wentz - Called up as bulk pitcher Wentz was recalled from Triple-A Toledo to serve as the Tigers' bulk pitcher Wednesday against the Yankees, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Brendan White is going to open the game in Detroit, but Wentz is expected to follow him and cover the majority of innings versus the visiting Yankees. Wentz, 25, has struggled to a 6.62 ERA through 17 starts and two relief appearances this season at the major-league level.
AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Casey Mize - Faces hitters again Wednesday Mize (elbow) threw his second round of live batting practice Wednesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Impact Mize appears to be close to beginning a minor-league rehab assignment and should be able to make a few appearances for the Tigers in the closing weeks of the 2023 season, whether in a starting or relief role. The 26-year-old right-hander required both Tommy John and back surgery last summer.
