Joey Wentz - Allows two runs in bulk role Wentz allowed two runs on a hit across 4.1 innings and did not factor into the decision in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. He walked two and struck out four.
Impact Wentz came in for the second inning after opener Will Vest retired the first three batters of the game. Wentz pitched well, with his only glaring mistake a two-run home run by Pavin Smith. It's a step in the right direction, though Wentz still has an ugly 7.23 ERA overall. The righty should take the mound again toward the end of next week against Minnesota on the road, and it's possible he operates as a bulk reliever there as well.

Kerry Carpenter - Reaches base four times Carpenter went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks.
Impact Carpenter returned from the injured list Friday after being out since April with a shoulder strain, and he's hit the ground running. The outfielder has gone 8-for-12 in three games, boosting his season average to .284 in the process. With Akil Baddoo (quadriceps) out, Carpenter should continue to see regular playing time in left, and he's worth keeping an eye on while he's hot.

Zach McKinstry - Smacks fifth homer McKinstry went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Impact McKinstry extended the Tigers' lead to 5-2 with a two-run shot off Zac Gallen in the fourth inning. The 28-year-old McKinstry had been 0-for-15 over his last four games and just 4-for-37 (.108) in his previous 10. Still, McKinstry's ability to play all over the diamond has afforded him a regular role in Detroit. He's slashing .253/.354/.398 with five homers, 27 runs scored, 12 RBI and 10 steals through 197 plate appearances on the campaign.

Jake Rogers - Hits bench Sunday Rogers is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Impact After starting the first two games of the series behind the plate, Rogers will head to the bench for Sunday's matinee. Eric Haase takes over catching duties and will bat sixth. The two players have largely split the backstop role this season, though Rogers has been a bit more effective offensively with a .692 OPS compared to a .566 mark for Haase. Rogers has also supplied eight home runs in 108 at-bats.

Eric Haase - Returns to lineup Haase is starting at catcher and batting sixth in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Haase sat out the first two games of the series in favor of Jake Rogers but will return to the lineup Sunday. Neither player has been a consistent offensive performer, as Haase has just a .566 OPS, while Rogers is a bit better at .692 though he's batting only .167. Haase may be unable to separate himself from Rogers any time soon behind the plate, though he can also pick up some starts in the outfield, which gives a slight boost to his overall outlook.

Spencer Torkelson - Moves up in order Sunday Torkelson is starting at first base and batting second in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Torkelson has yet to bat higher than third this season, and he's primarily slotted in as Detroit's No. 4 or 5 hitter. The move up in the order is probably more about the struggling Tigers shaking things up than the 23-year-old surging at the plate. Torkelson is batting just .225 overall this season and only .194 over his past 10 games.

Detroit Tigers opt for opener vs. Diamondbacks to change struggling Joey Wentz's fortunes Rather than start lefty Joey Wentz, the Detroit Tigers went with Will Vest to open Sunday's series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Joey Wentz - Working behind opener Sunday Wentz will be the bulk pitcher for Sunday's game versus the Diamondbacks, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Wentz will not make the start as scheduled, but instead work behind an opener with Will Vest now getting the start against Arizona. Wentz hasn't completed more than five innings in an outing since May 8 with an ERA of 7.49 overall in the 2023 campaign, and he'd be a risky streaming option even before knowing he wasn't going to get a chance to throw in the early inning(s).
JUNE 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Will Vest - Opening Sunday's contest Vest will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Vest hasn't recorded more than six outs in any of his 20 appearances on the season, so he's unlikely to work more than once through the order before giving way to Joey Wentz, who will work as a bulk reliever in his normal turn through the rotation. The 28-year-old Vest will be making his first start of the season and the third of his MLB career.
JUNE 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Zack Short - Sitting out Sunday Short is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Short will hit the bench for the series finale after starting at second base in each of the past four games while going 3-for-14 with a double and three RBI. Nick Maton will step in for Short at the keystone.

Matthew Boyd - Knocked around in loss Boyd (3-5) took the loss Saturday, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks over 5 innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out three.
Impact Boyd didn't have his best stuff Saturday, surrendering a two-run homer to Nick Ahmed in the second inning and later serving up a three-run shot to Lourdes Gurriel in the fifth. The left-hander recorded only three strikeouts after fanning at least five in each of his previous three starts and he's now lost three of his last four decisions. It was also Boyd's fourth time this season allowing at least five runs.
