86-76 · 3RD IN AL CENTRAL
Start of Tigers' series finale vs. Giants on Sunday delayed by rain The start of Sunday's game between the Tigers and San Francisco Giants was delayed by inclement weather.
Matt Manning - Hoping to return in six weeks Manning (foot) told reporters Sunday that he expects to start throwing again as soon as next week and hopes to return to the mound in six weeks, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Woodbery notes that Manning was in the clubhouse prior to Sunday's game against the Giants while wearing a protective boot and using a Knee Rover scooter. The right-hander broke the fifth metatarsal on his right foot during Tuesday's start, but he won't require surgery and stands a good chance to return to the mound before the summer months if there are no setbacks.

Jonathan Schoop - Not starting Sunday Schoop is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's tilt against the Giants.
Impact Schoop is out of the lineup for a second consecutive game after going 0-for-3 during Friday's extra-innings loss to the Giants. Zach McKinstry is hitting eighth and playing second base for the series finale.
APRIL 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Spencer Torkelson - Sitting Sunday vs. Giants Torkelson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Impact Torkelson will get a day of rest Sunday for the series finale against San Francisco. Tyler Nevin will handle first base duties in his absence and hit seventh.

Kerry Carpenter - Swats second homer Carpenter went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Giants.
Impact The game was all San Francisco in the early going aside from Carpenter's second-inning shot off Anthony DeSclafani, but the rest of Detroit's bats were able to get going in the later innings. Carpenter is batting just .212 (7-for-33) through 10 games, but those seven hits include three doubles and two homers.

Michael Lorenzen - Bailed out by offense Lorenzen didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Giants, surrendering six runs on eight hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out six...
Impact The strikeouts were somewhat encouraging, but Lorenzen's first start of the season was mostly poor as he served up two-run homers to Blake Sabol in the second inning and J.D. Davis in the third, eventually exiting after 79 pitches (52 strikes). Fortunately for the right-hander, he got bailed out by Detroit's batters after he hit the showers. Lorenzen, whose season debut was delayed due to a spring groin strain, should remain in the rotation for at least another couple turns. He'll hope he's shaken off all the rust ahead of his next outing, likely to come next weekend in Baltimore.

Tyler Holton - Recalled from Triple-A Holton was recalled Saturday from Triple-A Toledo.
Impact Holton will join the Tigers' bullpen ahead of Saturday's game against the Giants. He figures to operate in mid-relief.
APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Kreidler - Optioned to Triple-A Kreidler was optioned Saturday to Triple-A Toledo.
Impact Kreidler was just 2-for-18 (.111) with two singles and seven strikeouts through 11 games this season with Detroit.
APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Garrett Hill - Optioned to Triple-A level Hill was optioned Saturday to Triple-A Toledo.
Impact Hill earned a save during his time with the Tigers but had ultimately surrendered 10 runs -- eight earned -- across seven total innings of relief. That works out to a 10.29 ERA.
APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Lorenzen - Activated for Saturday start Lorenzen (groin) was activated Saturday from the 15-day injured list.
Impact Lorenzen will jump into the Tigers' starting rotation Saturday against the Giants after missing the first three weeks of the 2023 regular season due to a left groin strain. He struggled in his lone minor-league rehab start last weekend with Triple-A Toledo and is not a recommended fantasy streamer.

José Cisnero - Earns first 2023 win Cisnero (1-0) allowed an unearned run in an inning of relief to earn the win in Friday's 11-inning contest against the Giants. He gave up two hits and struck out one.
Impact Cisnero worked the top of the 11th inning and allowed the automatic runner on second base to score via a pair of singles with no outs, but he limited the damage from there. The righty then picked up the win on Nick Maton's walkoff three-run home run in the bottom half of the inning. Cisnero now has a 5.40 ERA across five innings this season, and he should continue to work in front of regular closer Alex Lange most days. Lange did not pitch Friday.
APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Vierling - Gathers two hits, stolen base Vierling went 2-for-6 with two runs scored in Friday's 10-inning win over the Giants. He also stole a base.
Impact Vierling was productive from the leadoff spot, contributing the two runs and also his second stolen base of the season. The outfielder has played in 11 of the team's first 13 games, with left-handed hitters Kerry Carpenter and Akil Baddoo also in the mix with Austin Meadows (personal) out. Vierling isn't a great fantasy asset at the moment, but he does get a boost from batting first.
APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Javier Báez - Rebounds with two-hit game Baez went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 10-inning win over the Giants.
Impact Baez was benched in the third inning of Thursday's game after a baserunning blunder got him doubled off second base, but he was back in the lineup Friday and played well. The shortstop is still only batting .159 this season, which is a huge disappointment given his contract. Baez is a streaky performed, however, and Friday's performance could get him going.
APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Maton - Plays hero off bench Maton went 1-for-3 with a walk and a walkoff three-run home run in Friday's 7-5 extra-innings win over the Giants.
Impact He began the night on the bench, but Maton pinch hit for Tyler Nevin in the fifth inning and remained in the game at third base, eventually playing hero in the 11th by driving a Camilo Doval fastball over the wall in right field. After hitting only 10 homers in 92 games between Triple-A and the majors last season in the Phillies' organization, Maton has gone yard three times in his first 12 contests as a Tiger, but his .194 batting average (7-for-36) and 30.2 percent strikeout rate will need to improve if he's going to continue getting regular playing time.
APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Joey Wentz - Sharp in no-decision Wentz didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 7-5 extra-innings win over the Giants, allowing one run on six hits and one walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.
Impact The southpaw served up a leadoff homer to Thairo Estrada but was impressive for the rest of his outing, coming one out short of a quality start and generating 31 called plus swinging strikes among his 94 pitches. It was Wentz's best performance of the season, but he'll still carry a 6.39 ERA and mediocre 10:6 K:BB through 12.2 innings into his next start, likely to come at home next week against the Guardians.
