Impact Baez had been away from the Tigers since Saturday following a death in his family. He is starting at shortstop and batting sixth Tuesday versus the Twins and right-hander Sonny Gray.

Javier Báez - Added to lineup Tuesday Baez (personal) was added to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.
Alex Faedo - Recalled from Triple-A Detroit recalled Faedo from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.
Impact Faedo looks poised to slot into the Tigers' starting rotation Wednesday against the Twins. The 27-year-old right-hander has struggled to a 5.80 ERA in 35.2 innings (seven starts) this season at the major-league level and makes for a risky fantasy streaming option.
AUGUST 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Joey Wentz - Optioned to Toledo Detroit optioned Wentz to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.
Impact Wentz was lit up for eight earned runs over just three innings in a spot start Monday versus the Twins. The 25-year-old left-hander carries a 7.03 ERA in 79.1 total innings of work this season at the major-league level.
AUGUST 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Kreidler - Returns to action at Triple-A Kreidler (core) has gone 3-for-13 with a double and a stolen base in three games for Triple-A Toledo since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Thursday.
Impact Kreidler rejoined the Toledo lineup Thursday for his first appearance with the affiliate since April 26 after a prolonged absence due to knee soreness and then core-muscle surgery. The 25-year-old infielder remains on the Tigers' 40-man roster and could be in the mix for a late-season call-up if he can stay healthy at Triple-A and produce well at the plate.
AUGUST 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Spencer Turnbull - Fourth rehab start coming Wednesday Turnbull (neck) is scheduled to make his fourth rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Toledo, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact Turnbull will be making his second straight appearance with Toledo after he made his first two rehab starts at High-A West Michigan. In his first outing at Triple-A on Friday, Turnbull covered 3.1 innings and tossed 56 pitches while giving up two earned runs on three hits and one walk. After Wednesday's outing, Turnbull should be stretched out enough for something close to a normal starter's workload, but it's unclear if the Tigers will make room for him in the rotation. Before landing on the injured list in May with the neck injury, Turnbull compiled a 7.26 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in his seven starts with Detroit.
AUGUST 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Vierling - Taking seat Tuesday Vierling is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.
Impact The Tigers are opting to use Kerry Carpenter in right field and Miguel Cabrera at designated hitter versus right-hander Sonny Gray. Vierling has actually hit righties better than lefties this season, but when he doesn't start it's almost always against a right-hander.
AUGUST 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Javier Báez - Absent from lineup Baez (personal) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.
Impact It's the third straight game that Baez has been out of the lineup following a death in the family, although he did pinch-hit in Sunday's contest. The Tigers have not made a roster move involving Baez and at this point it's possible they won't. Zack Short is playing shortstop Tuesday.

Joey Wentz - Gets shelled Monday Wentz (2-10) allowed eight runs on 10 hits across three innings to take the loss Monday against the Twins. He walked one and struck out two.
Impact Wentz got off to a rough start, allowing four runs in the first inning, including a three-run bomb by Ryan Jeffers. Things didn't get much better from there, as Carlos Correa launched a three-run home run in the second inning. The Tigers kept Wentz out there simply to absorb some innings, but it was an ugly outing all around. The lefty now has a 7.03 ERA and can't be trusted in fantasy even if he sticks in the rotation, which may be the case due to injuries to other Detroit starters. Wentz is tentatively set to start again Sunday against the Red Sox and should be avoided in that spot.

Nick Maton - Provides offense Monday Maton went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 9-3 loss to the Twins.
Impact Maton provided the offense, hitting his eighth home run of the season during garbage time in the ninth inning. The 26-year-old has mostly struggled in his first year with the Tigers, as this was his first long ball since July 14 and he's batting just .177 for the season. Maton should continue to work in rotation with the likes of Andy Ibanez, Zach McKinstry and Zack Short in the infield, with none of the options providing that much offensively.

Alex Lange - Struggles continue Monday Lange allowed one run on three walks and a hit batter across an inning of work in Monday's 9-3 loss to the Twins.
Impact After getting pulled from a save opportunity Saturday due to walking three batters, Lange struggled with his command again Monday. He's actually walked three batters in his last three games, bringing the righty to 37 free passes this year in just 45 innings. Lange has good stuff, but the Tigers may need to go in a different direction in the closer role at some point.

Zach Logue - Designated for assignment Logue was designated for assignment Monday.
Impact Logue has only appeared in three games in the majors this season and gave up a combined nine earned runs in his last two. He was optioned to Triple-A on July 27, but to make room for Isan Diaz, the relief pitcher was cast off the 40-man roster.
AUGUST 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Isan Diaz - Claimed off waivers and optioned The Tigers claimed Diaz off waivers from the Giants and optioned him to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.
Impact Diaz went just 1-for-19 with the Giants this season. Now in his fourth season in the majors, the 27-year-old has not once finished above the Mendoza Line. He will look to get off to a good start with Toledo and potentially get the call to the majors later this season. In a corresponding move, the Tigers designated Zach Logue for assignment.
AUGUST 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Andy Ibáñez - Goes to bench Monday Ibanez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
Impact Nick Maton will get the starting nod at second base in the series opener versus Minnesota, but Ibanez manned the keystone for each of the previous three games and appears to be Detroit's preferred option at the position. Ibanez closed the weekend series with the Rays with a pair of two-hit games and is now batting .288 since the All-Star break.
AUGUST 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Javier Báez - Remains out Monday Baez (personal) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
Impact The Tigers have yet to announce any roster moves ahead of Monday's series opener, but Baez could be placed on the bereavement list following the recent death of a family member. He had been included in the Tigers' initial lineups for both of the past two games, only to be scratched on both occasions on account of the personal matter. It's unclear if Baez is still with the team or if he's already left Detroit to be with his family.
