Count on a low-scoring series finale between the Phillies and Tigers Expect another low-scoring affair between the Tigers and Phillies on Thursday.
Joe Rizzo - Traded to Detroit Detroit acquired Rizzo from the Marlins on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations.
Impact Rizzo has been assigned to Triple-A Toledo and will not occupy a spot on the Tigers' 40-man roster. He was the 50th overall pick in the 2016 MLB Draft but is now 25 years old and has posted a relatively underwhelming .262/.334/.388 batting line across 672 career minor-league games.

Kerry Carpenter - Playing outfield on rehab Carpenter (shoulder) is making his first start in the outfield Wednesday since starting his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact Carpenter has been limited to designated hitter duty as he works his way back from a right shoulder strain, but he's been throwing and is now ready to try things out in the outfield. The 25-year-old has been on the shelf since late April but should be activated soon as long as he shows he can handle the outfield.

Reese Olson - Will not start Thursday Olson will not start Thursday's game for the Tigers in Philadelphia, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Olson had been the scheduled starter for Wednesday's game which was postponed due to poor air quality conditions. He will now be pushed back at least until the weekend, with reliever Tyler Holton taking the ball Thursday.

Tyler Holton - Starting Thursday's game Holton will start for the Tigers on Thursday in Philadelphia, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Reese Olson had been on tap to start Wednesday before the game was postponed due to air quality conditions and now the Tigers have decided to go with Holton for the makeup game. It will be the first major-league start for Holton, who has a 2.32 ERA in 17 relief appearances.

Tigers-Phillies postponed because of air quality The Tigers' game scheduled for Wednesday night in Philadelphia was postponed because of air quality, the Phillies announced.

Reese Olson - Start postponed due to air quality Olson's start against the Phillies on Wednesday was postponed due to poor air quality.
Impact Olson was scheduled to square off against Zack Wheeler, but that outing will be bumped at least a day with Wednesday's game now scheduled for Thursday.

Jake Marisnick - On bench Wednesday Marisnick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Akil Baddoo will slide over from left field to fill in for Marisnick, who had started in center field in each of the last six games while going 3-for-16 with seven strikeouts. Despite his lack of production at the plate, Marisnick's defensive prowess may be enough for him to stick around as a regular in the Detroit outfield until the Tigers get Matt Vierling (back) and Riley Greene (fibula) back from the injured list.

Andy Ibáñez - Sits in second straight Ibanez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia.
Impact Ibanez is on the bench for the second game in a row, after he had previously manned the keystone for Detroit for three of the preceding four games. Zack Short will get a second straight turn at second base while the Tigers continue to take a committee approach to the position while Zach McKinstry sees more time in right field to aid an injury-plagued Detroit outfield.

The Detroit News Marisnick's defensive acumen made him an easy choice to fill in for Riley Greene. Marisnick's familiarity with Hinch has made the transition seamless.

Tyler Holton - Delivers two scoreless innings Holton allowed two hits while striking out two over two scoreless innings in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Phillies.
Impact Horton has been solid of late for the Tigers, pitching to a 1.76 ERA over his last eight appearances (15.1 innings). The rookie left-hander lowered his ERA to 2.32 with a 0.94 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB through 31 innings this season while earning more high-leverage work in Detroit.

Reese Olson - Receiving another start Olson will start Wednesday's game against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
Impact Though he ended up taking a loss last Friday in Chicago versus the White Sox, Olson held his own in his MLB debut, striking out six over five innings while allowing two earned runs on just two hits and one walk. With several starting pitching candidates still residing on the injured list, Olson should have a decent amount of leash in the Detroit rotation if he can remain serviceable in his future outings.

Tyler Alexander - Takes loss Tuesday Alexander (1-1) allowed one run on one hit across three innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Phillies. He struck out three and had no walks.
Impact Kyle Schwarber led off the game with a home run and it ended up being the only run either team would score. That left Alexander with a tough-luck loss, as this was one of his better outings of the season and his longest since going 3.1 innings on Opening Day. The lefty still has a rough 6.00 ERA overall and will likely continue to serve as a long reliever or occasional opener for the Tigers, giving him limited fantasy value.

Kerry Carpenter - Throwing to bases Carpenter (shoulder) is scheduled to throw to bases Tuesday at Triple-A Toledo, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact Carpenter headed out on a minor-league rehab assignment in late May, but he's been DH-only so far and Beck speculates that the Tigers are unlikely to activate him until he's able to play the outfield. The 25-year-old landed on the injured list in late April because of a right shoulder strain.
