Eduardo Rodriguez - Struggles against former team Rodriguez (8-6) allowed six runs on 10 hits across five innings to take the loss Sunday against the Red Sox. He walked one and struck out eight.
Impact Rodriguez struggled in his matchup with Boston, the team he played for from 2015 through 2021 before joining the Tigers in free agency. The lefty was coming off of two good starts in which he allowed just two runs across 13 innings, and he still owns a strong 3.13 ERA for the season. Consider this a blip on the radar for Rodriguez, who will look to get back on track in his next scheduled start, which is currently penciled in for Saturday against the Guardians.

Akil Baddoo - Goes deep Sunday Baddoo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox.
Impact Baddoo is batting just .218 this season with a .664 OPS, but he's been better lately. Over his last 10 games, the outfielder is batting .273, and he's hit two of his seven home runs on the year. Baddoo should continue to hit leadoff for the Tigers most days, at least when they're not facing a lefty.

Alex Lange - Bypassed in save opportunity Lange was not used in a save opportunity during Saturday's win over the Red Sox, with the save instead going to Jason Foley.
Impact The Tigers led 6-1 in the eighth inning, but when that dropped to 6-2 and Boston put two runners on, Detroit turned to Jason Foley to record five outs. Lange hasn't pitched since Monday and his last save came back on July 23. Since then, the righty has walked 10 batters in just 4.1 innings, and those control issues could be costing him his grip on the closer role.

Spencer Torkelson - Goes deep in four-hit game Torkelson went 4-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Red Sox.
Impact Torkelson turned in his first four-hit game of the season and third home run over the last four games. For the year, the 23-year-old is now up to 18 long balls, though he's batting just .229. The skills are there, however, for Torkelson to push that average upward the rest of the way.

Javier Báez - Goes on bereavement list The Tigers placed Baez (knee) on the bereavement list Sunday.
Impact Baez had been a candidate to go on the bereavement list for nearly a week following the recent passing of his grandfather, but he ended up starting in four straight games before he was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's 6-2 win over the Red Sox due to a sore right knee. Baez apparently picked up the injury Friday, and he'll now get some added time to heal up while he returns to his native Puerto Rico to attend his grandfather's funeral and mourn with his family. Per MLB rules, players must spent at least three days -- and no more than seven -- on the bereavement list, so Baez could rejoin the Tigers as soon as Wednesday for the team's game in Minnesota.
AUGUST 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Isan Diaz - Recalled from Triple-A The Tigers recalled Diaz from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
Impact With Javier Baez (bereavement) away from the team, Diaz will come up from the minors to fill Baez's roster spot. The 27-year-old infielder is just 1-for-19 across six games in the majors this season, and he is unlikely to draw many starts for Detroit while Baez is out.

The Detroit News To call what Alex Lange is going through a baseball version of PTSD, though a plausible, narrative, is false. And it's an affront to his mental toughness.
AUGUST 13, 2023 • DETROITNEWS.COM
Kerry Carpenter - Goes yard twice in win Carpenter went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Red Sox.
Impact He got the Tigers on the board in the second inning by taking Brayan Bello deep before clubbing his second long ball in the eighth off Kyle Barraclough. Carpenter has gone yard three times in the last two days to extend his current hitting streak to nine games, a stretch in which he's batting a blistering .471 (16-for-34) with four homers, six RBI and 10 runs.
AUGUST 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jason Foley - Notches fifth save Foley gave up one hit over 1.2 scoreless innings of relief Saturday to record his fifth save of the season in a 6-2 win over the Red Sox.
Impact Beau Brieske started the eighth inning protecting a five-run lead, but after a Justin Turner homer and two singles, Foley was brought in to shut down the rally with the tying run on deck. The right-hander's power sinker proved to be too much for Boston's hitters, producing four groundball outs -- including a game-ending double play -- plus an infield pop-up. Alex Lange has walked nine batters in his last three appearances and appears to be in danger of losing his grip on Detroit's closer role, and while Foley is in the mix to replace him, manager A.J. Hinch might be leaning toward a committee approach instead. Since Lange's last save July 23, four different Tigers relievers -- Brieske with two, and Foley, Tyler Holton and Jose Cisnero with one each -- have collected a save.
AUGUST 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Manning - Stingy in fourth win Manning (4-4) picked up the win Saturday, allowing one unearned run on two hits and three walks over 5.1 innings in a 6-2 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out only one.
Impact The right-hander wasn't dominant, managing only seven swinging strikes among his 90 pitches, but Manning produced plenty of weak contact as he won his first game in over a month. He also kept the ball in the park, a big improvement after he'd served up six homers in his last three starts. Since the All-Star break, he carries a 5.46 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB through 29.2 innings, and he'll look to claw back that ERA further in his next outing, likely to come next weekend in Cleveland.
