Joey Wentz - Better against Texas Wentz did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing a run on seven hits and a walk over 4.1 innings against Texas. He struck out five.
Impact Wentz had allowed 11 runs over six innings in his last two starts, so Wednesday's performance against a potent Rangers offense was a step in the right direction. Still, Wentz was lucky to escape with just one run allowed, as he surrendered seven hits on 11 hard-hit balls in just 4.1 innings. The 25-year-old left-hander is 1-5 this season with a 7.28 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 40:17 K:BB through 47 innings. Despite his struggles, Wentz will likely continue starting for the Tigers while they face a litany of injuries in their rotation.

Impact This move frees up a 26-man roster spot for Reese Olson, who is scheduled to make his MLB debut in Friday's series opener against the White Sox. Bristo drew just one appearance during his short stay in the Tigers' bullpen.

Eric Haase - Sitting Wednesday Haase is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Impact Haase will get a breather in the day game after a night game, paving the way for Jake Rogers to pick up a turn behind the plate. While catching or starting in left field in each of the Tigers' last four contests, Haase went 1-for-14 with two walks, a stolen base and two RBI.

Andy Ibáñez - Fading into bench role Ibanez remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Impact Ibanez has been a fairly consistent part of the Detroit lineup since late April, but he appears to have fallen out of favor after going 3-for-48 at the plate over his last 15 games. Even with the Tigers moving two everyday players in Riley Greene (fibula) and Matt Vierling (back) to the injured list within the past two days, Ibanez will still find himself on the bench for the fourth time in six games.
MAY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Zack Short - Gets fifth straight start Short will start at third base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Impact Short will stick in the lineup for the fifth game in a row, and after producing a 1.012 OPS over the past four contests, he looks like he'll stick around in a near-everyday role while he's swinging a hot bat and while the Tigers deal with a host of injuries. With outfielders Riley Greene (fibula) and Matt Vierling (back) both landing on the 10-day injured list within the past two days, Zach McKinstry is expected to see more time in right field moving forward, opening up room in the infield for Short. The 28-year-old Short will likely rotate between second and third base, with his position depending on whether Nick Maton is included in the lineup on a given day.

Trey Wingenter - Moved to 60-day IL Wingenter (biceps) was transferred to the 60-day injured list, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Wingenter was moved over to the 60-day IL in order to open a spot on the 40-man roster for Jake Marisnick, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday. Wingenter was placed on the 15-day IL in late April and he will now have to wait until late June to be eligible to return. The right-hander resumed throwing May 12 and should now have ample time to be ready to go by the end of June.

Tigers' Riley Greene on IL with stress fracture Greene, 22, has been in the midst of a breakout season, hitting .296 with five home runs through 52 games.

Riley Greene - Placed on 10-day IL Greene (leg) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a stress fracture in his left fibula, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Impact Greene left Tuesday's loss early after he tweaked his leg running down a fly ball and his MRI following the contest revealed the true nature of his injury. It's hard to predict exactly how long the outfielder could be sidelined and more information will likely be supplied in the coming days. Greene had settled into a nice groove in May, batting .365 with 13 extra-base hits, including three homers, 11 RBI, 16 runs and four stolen bases over 96 at-bats in 25 games. Jake Marisnick had his contract selected from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday and will help fill the void in center field left by Greene's absence.

Jake Marisnick - Set for Detroit debut The Tigers selected Marisnick's contract ahead of Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact After being acquired from the White Sox on Tuesday, Marisnick will immediately join the Tigers ahead of Wednesday's series finale to provide the team with a healthy body in the outfield after Riley Greene (leg) was placed on the 10-day injured list. While both Greene and Matt Vierling (back) are on the shelf, the defensive-minded Marisnick could see steady work in center field, at least against left-handed pitching. Other than perhaps supplying the occasional stolen base, Marisnick is unlikely to provide much fantasy value even if he ends up seeing regular playing time.

Miguel Cabrera - Three hits Tuesday Cabrera went 3-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's loss against the Rangers.
Impact Cabrera set a season high with three hits against the Rangers, snapping a 2-for-24 stretch. His fifth-inning double was also his first extra-base hit since April 12. Overall, it's been a tough year for the 40-year-old Cabrera. He's now slashing just .196/.272/.239 with seven RBI and no home runs through 103 plate appearances.
MAY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Reese Olson - Getting call-up for Friday start The Tigers will call up Olson from Triple-A Toledo to start Friday's game against the White Sox, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact As anticipated, Olson will be join the Tigers in Chicago for what will be his MLB debut as he steps into the rotation for the injured Eduardo Rodriguez (finger). The 23-year-old right-hander owns a poor 6.38 ERA and 1.77 WHIP over 36.2 innings at Triple-A this season, but he's looked far sharper over his last six starts with Toledo. During that stretch, he's turned in a 3.00 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 32:15 K:BB across 27 innings. Given that Olson hasn't covered more than five innings in any start this season, he could struggle to work deep enough into his upcoming outings with the big club to qualify for wins.
