Eric Haase - Posts steal in win Haase went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Haase has hit safely in four straight games, going 6-for-15 (.400) with two home runs and six RBI in that span. His steal was his second of the season, though the catcher/outfielder shouldn't be counted on for much speed. He's been solid so far with a .278/.337/.405 slash line, two homers, 11 RBI, six runs scored and four doubles over 86 plate appearances.

For the season, the shortstop is slashing .260/.322/.394 with 15 RBI, 14 runs scored and two stolen bases through 115 plate appearances.

The southpaw now has a 5.28 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 28:11 K:BB across 30.2 innings this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Mariners next week.

Impact Skubal's last bullpen session was Sunday, during which he only threw fastballs. The Tigers still have not set a target date for Skubal's return, but considering he has yet to be cleared to face live hitters, it's possible he stays on the IL beyond his eligible return date of May 29.
