Tigers option RHP Spencer Turnbull to Triple-A The Detroit Tigers optioned struggling right-handed starter Spencer Turnbull to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
Alex Faedo - Called up ahead of start The Tigers recalled Faedo from Triple-A Toledo ahead of his scheduled start Sunday in St. Louis.
Impact Detroit optioned Spencer Turnbull to Triple-A in a corresponding move, potentially setting Faedo up to make multiple turns through the rotation as the Tigers' fifth starter. Whether he gets any starts beyond Sunday, however, will likely hinge on how he performs against the Cardinals, as Detroit could elect to get by with a four-man rotation thanks to three well-timed off days during the upcoming two weeks. Faedo had pitched effectively through his first five starts at Toledo this season, logging a 2.50 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 19:4 K:BB in 18 innings.

Spencer Turnbull - Demoted to Triple-A The Tigers optioned Turnbull to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact After missing the entire 2022 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, Turnbull was healthy enough to break camp as a member of Detroit's Opening Day rotation. However, the 30-year-old right-hander hasn't been anywhere close to as effective as he had been prior to his surgery through his first seven starts of 2023, as he logged a 7.26 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 24:15 K:BB in 31 innings. The Tigers are hoping a demotion to Triple-A will help Turnbull regain confidence while honing his control and command. Alex Faedo will be called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move to start Sunday's game in St. Louis, and he could end up making a few turns through the rotation as the Tigers' No. 5 starter while Turnbull is on the farm.

Akil Baddoo - Swipes third bag Baddoo went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Cardinals.
Impact His ground-rule double in the 10th inning brought home Jonathan Schoop for the game-winning run. Baddoo has yet to find consistent success at the plate in the majors this season however, and through 22 games he's slashing .234/.329/.297 with zero homers, three steals, two RBI and nine runs.

Spencer Turnbull - Escapes with no-decision Turnbull didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Cardinals, coughing up five runs on seven hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out six.
Impact The right-hander continues to have a bumpy return from Tommy John surgery. Saturday's six strikeouts did tie Turnbull's season high, but he also served up multiple homers for the first time in seven starts, and he left the game on the hook for his fifth loss before the Tigers tied it up in the seventh inning. Turnbull will carry a 7.26 ERA and 24:15 K:BB through 31 innings into his next outing, which could come at home next weekend against the Mariners.

Alex Faedo - Set for spot start Faedo will be called up to start Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact The Tigers need to turn to a spot starter after a rainout forced a doubleheader Wednesday against the Mets. Detroit gets three off days in the 11 days following Faedo's start on Sunday, so Faedo might not get the chance to stick around. The 27-year-old's 5.53 ERA in 12 starts as a rookie last year doesn't inspire confidence, though he owns a 2.50 ERA in five Triple-A starts this season.

Jake Rogers - Sitting Saturday Rogers will be on the bench Saturday against the Cardinals.
Impact Rogers has seen a marginal uptick in playing time lately, but his off day means he leads Eric Haase in starts behind the plate by the narrowest of margins, starting 16 games to Haase's 15. Rogers has hit .200/.313/.418 with three homers this year, while Haase has homered twice while slashing .278/.337/.405.

Riley Greene - Productive off bench Friday After entering the game as a defensive replacement, Greene went 1-for-2 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Friday's win over the Cardinals.
Impact Greene didn't start with St. Louis sending out lefty Jordan Montgomery, but the outfielder entered in the fifth inning and still made a big impact. The 22-year-old is now batting .256 this year with 11 RBI and 17 runs scored across 31 games. Greene hasn't truly broken out yet, but he's played well for his age, and bigger stat lines could be ahead as he continues to settle in at the MLB level.

Miguel Cabrera - Hitless in return Cabrera went 0-for-4 in Friday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Cabrera hadn't played since April 29 due to a combination of lineup decisions, rainouts and an illness. The 40-year-old saw his slash line sink to .175/.217/.228 for the season after his fifth hitless effort in his last seven games.
