Matt Manning - Leaves start with injury Manning was removed from Friday's start versus the Astros in the seventh inning with an undisclosed injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. He allowed just one unearned...
Impact Manning looked to tweak something in his side or back while delivering a pitch. He tested things out with one warmup pitch but then walked off the field and into the clubhouse. It's unfortunate timing, as Manning was in the middle of one of the best starts of his career in permitting just one unearned run on an infield single, an error and a catcher's interference.

Detroit Free Press Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize, former No. 1 overall pick, hasn't faced a live hitter since April 14, 2022, against the Royals in Kansas City.
AUGUST 25, 2023 • FREEP.COM
Casey Mize - Set to face live hitters Mize (elbow) is set to throw live batting practice Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact It will be his first time facing live hitters since he required both Tommy John and back surgery last summer. Mize is hoping to make a few appearances for the Tigers before the conclusion of the 2023 campaign, though the clock is obviously ticking.

Akil Baddoo - Sitting against lefty Baddoo isn't in the Tigers' lineup Friday against the Astros.
Impact Framber Valdez will start Friday's game for Houston, so the left-handed bat of Baddoo will take a seat to begin the weekend series. Matt Vierling will take over for Baddoo in left field, allowing Zack Short to start at third base.
AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Zach McKinstry - Sitting versus lefty McKinstry isn't in the Tigers' lineup Friday against the Astros.
Impact With southpaw Framber Valdez starting on the bump for Houston, McKinstry will begin Friday's contest on the bench. His absence will allow Andy Ibanez to start at the keystone and bat second.
AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Javier Báez - Returns to lineup Baez (illness) is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Friday against Houston.
Impact Baez missed the Tigers' last two games due to illness, but the issue appears to have subsided ahead of Friday's contest. The 30-year-old shortstop has started to heat up at the plate recently, going 4-for-14 with a home run and three RBI across his last four games.

Zach McKinstry - Walks twice, swipes bag McKinstry went 1-for-2 with a steal in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Cubs.
Impact McKinstry drew a walk in two of his first three plate appearances but was left stranded on each occasion as the Tigers failed to keep pace with Chicago's offense. Then, down two runs in the bottom of the ninth, the right fielder added a single to advance Parker Meadows to third before stealing second base to put the tying run in scoring position. McKinstry has now hit safely in three straight games and in five of his last six, tallying two RBI and two runs scored over that latter stretch, while drawing four walks.

Tarik Skubal - Settles for no-decision Wednesday Skubal allowed four runs on six hits across six innings and did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Cubs. He walked one and struck out seven.
Impact Skubal pitched decently against a hot Chicago lineup, but it wasn't enough for his fourth win of the season. The lefty did manage to complete six innings for the second straight start after not going six frames in any of his previous seven appearances. Skubal will look for win No. 4 the next time he takes the hill, which is currently scheduled for Tuesday against the scuffling Yankees.

Kerry Carpenter - Keeps slugging Wednesday Carpenter went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Cubs.
Impact Carpenter didn't hit a home run Tuesday, but he made up for that in a big way Wednesday, providing all of Detroit's offense. The outfielder has now gone deep in four of the last five games, and he has nine home runs this month overall in 21 contests. The power surge has allowed Carpenter to reach the 20-homer plateau for the first time in his career, and he is showing no signs of slowing down.

Reese Olson - Six earned runs in no-decision Olson did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing six runs on four hits and three walks over 4.2 innings against the Cubs. He struck out seven.
Impact The rookie right-hander stymied Chicago's offense through the first three innings, but the floodgates opened in the fourth when Dansby Swanson and Jeimer Candelario each launched two-run homers. Two more runs were charged to Olson after he was removed with two outs in the fifth and despite Detroit maintaining the lead for the remainder of the game, Olson's failure to complete five innings prevented him from earning the victory. The 24-year-old tossed a gem against Minnesota on Aug. 10, but has allowed 10 earned runs across 7.1 innings in his two starts since then.
AUGUST 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Joey Wentz - Sent back to Triple-A The Tigers optioned Wentz to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.
Impact Wentz was returned to the minors one day after he served as the 27th man for the Tigers' twin bill with the Guardians. He ended up starting the second game of the doubleheader and took a no-decision in the Tigers' 4-1 loss while striking out three and scattering four hits and two walks over five scoreless frames. Though the Tigers don't have a spot available for him in the rotation at the moment, Wentz should be first in line for a promotion if injuries test the big club's starting depth at any point over the final five and a half weeks of the season.
