DETROIT TIGERS NEWS

The Detroit News Tyler Alexander felt pain his left shoulder/lat on his 28th and final pitch Sunday in Denver. The injury is extensive. His season is over.

JULY 4, 2023 • DETROITNEWS.COM

Tyler Alexander - Lands on 60-day IL with lat strain Alexander was placed on the 60-day injured list Tuesday with a left lat strain.

Impact Alexander evidently suffered the injury during an appearance Sunday against the Rockies and he'll now be sidelined into September. It's a blow to the Tigers' relief corps, as Alexander has pitched well with a 44:5 K:BB over 44 innings.

Tarik Skubal - Activated for season debut Skubal (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Skubal is set to make his season debut for the Tigers on Tuesday against the Athletics after completing the long rehab from last August's flexor tendon surgery. The left-hander isn't totally stretched out yet, having gone just four innings in his last rehab starts. He was terrific on his rehab assignment, though, leaving Skubal as a solid fantasy play in a favorable matchup even though he'll have workload restrictions.

Riley Greene - Beginning rehab assignment Greene (fibula) is beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Greene joined Toledo last week to continue working out and is finally ready to test things out in game action. The young outfielder has been sidelined since late May with a stress fracture in his left fibula. He would appear to have a good shot to return for the start of the second half.

Eduardo Rodriguez - Confirmed for Wednesday Rodriguez (finger) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact After returning Matt Manning from the 60-day IL last week, the Tigers will get two more reinforcements to the rotation in the final week before the All-Star break. Tarik Skubal (elbow) will return from the 60-day IL to start Tuesday's series opener, while Rodriguez returns from a five-week absence to take the hill Wednesday. Before being shelved with a ruptured pulley in his left index finger, Rodriguez had been putting together a Cy Young Award-worthy campaign, cobbling together a 2.13 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 67:16 K:BB in 67.2 innings through his first 11 starts. The veteran southpaw looked sharp in his lone minor-league rehab start last Thursday with Triple-A Toledo, striking out four over 4.1 scoreless frames while scattering three hits and one walk.

Zach McKinstry - Scores twice in offensive outburst McKinstry went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Rockies.

Impact McKinstry was a bit overshadowed on a day the Tigers hit five home runs as a team, including two grand slams. However, he still provided a nice contribution from the leadoff spot. McKinstry now has two straight two-hit efforts and is batting .323 over his last 10 games. He should have fantasy value as long as he's locked in at the plate and batting first for Detroit.

Jake Rogers - Slugs solo shot Rogers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Rockies.

Impact Rogers was steady in June, batting .286 (14-for-49) with four homers over 17 games. He kept his power up in his first contest in July, giving him 11 long balls on the year. The catcher continues to have a slight edge over Eric Haase for playing time, though that could change when the Tigers get some outfielders back from the injured list. Rogers is slashing .203/.304/.473 with 26 RBI, 23 runs scored and seven doubles through 172 plate appearances, and he's hit safely in six of his last seven games.

Spencer Torkelson - Pops 12th homer Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double, two walks and two additional runs scored in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Rockies.

Impact Torkelson's seventh-inning blast was his 12th homer of the year and his fourth in his last five games. Over that span, he's gone 7-for-18 (.389) with eight RBI and five walks. It's still a small stretch of success, but it appears the first baseman is getting more comfortable midway through his second big-league season. He's up to a .228/.312/.404 slash line with 42 RBI, 40 runs scored, 18 doubles and two stolen bases through 81 contests.

Jake Marisnick - Launches grand slam Marisnick went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Rockies.

Impact Marisnick slugged the Tigers' second slam of the day, padding their lead to 14-6 in the top of the eighth inning. The outfielder has gone just 7-for-33 (.212) over 19 contests since his last multi-hit effort, though he's also seen a lot of time in a bench role in that span. With Riley Greene (fibula) close to beginning a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo and Akil Baddoo (quad) already playing rehab games, Marisnick's playing time could be set for a further decline soon. The veteran outfielder is slashing .210/.258/.355 with a homer, seven RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base through 67 plate appearances between the Tigers and the White Sox this year.

JULY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Javier Báez - Smacks grand slam Baez went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Rockies.

Impact Baez made an early impact with his one-out blast off Connor Seabold in the first inning. The homer snapped a 13-game power drought for Baez, who hit just .176 (9-for-51) in that span. He's tracking for a career low in homers over a full season -- he has just six through 79 contests so far. The shortstop is slashing a paltry .223/.258/.331 with 42 RBI, 32 runs scored and six stolen bases this year.

Kerry Carpenter - Clubs eighth homer Carpenter went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Rockies.

Impact Carpenter had struggled recently, going 6-for-31 (.194) over 11 contests between multi-hit efforts. He's homered four times over his last 13 games, giving him eight long balls on the year. The 25-year-old is up to a .268/.320/.500 slash line with 19 RBI, 18 runs scored and eight doubles through 42 contests while mainly filling a strong-side platoon role.

Matt Manning - Collects second win Manning (2-1) allowed four runs on five hits and struck out four without walking a batter over five innings to earn the win Sunday over the Rockies.

Impact After walking four in his return from a fractured foot, Manning displayed better control Sunday. Unfortunately, the Rockies were able to get the ball in the air well, with three of the four runs against Manning coming on sacrifice flies, though it certainly could have been worse. The right-hander now has a 4.84 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB over 22.1 innings through four starts this season. He's lined up to make his next start at home versus the Blue Jays.

Impact Cabrera will get a breather for the matinee game after he started five of the Tigers' last six contests while going 5-for-15 with a pair of walks, two RBI and a run scored. Zack McKinstry will replace Cabrera as the Tigers' designated hitter.
