Ryan Kreidler - Making third straight start Kreidler is starting at second base and batting ninth for the Tigers in Thursday's home opener versus the Red Sox.
Impact It's the third straight start for Kreidler, with two of them coming at second base and one at shortstop. One of those starts came against a righty, but for the most part he seems to be in a short-side platoon with Zach McKinstry. Kreidler is 2-for-11 at the plate so far this season.

Riley Greene - Triples, steals base Wednesday Greene went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Astros. He also stole a base.
Impact Greene extended his hitting streak to four games and he's now batting .348 this season. The speedy outfielder also recorded his first triple and first stolen base of the year. Greene has all the tools, and the rebuilding Tigers should give him plenty of playing time, so the ingredients are there for a breakout in 2023.

Eduardo Rodriguez - Takes loss versus Houston Rodriguez (0-2) took the loss Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Astros. He struck out one.
Impact Rodriquez allowed only six hits but two of those were homers, including a two-run shot by Chas McCormick in the second inning. Given the opponent, it wasn't a horrible performance from Rodriquez, but he lacked strikeout stuff Wednesday and has received only one run from his offense over his first two starts, making him an unattractive fantasy option to start the campaign. Rodriquez is scheduled to pitch again next Wednesday in Toronto, which is another difficult matchup for the left-hander.

Miguel Cabrera - Back on bench Cabrera will sit Wednesday versus the Astros.
Impact As expected, Cabrera will retreat to the bench Wednesday after he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's victory. Kerry Carpenter will take over at designated hitter while Matt Vierling enters the lineup in right field and bats third in the series-finale.

Javier Báez - Sitting Wednesday Baez is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series-finale against the Astros.
Impact Baez will take a seat after starting the Tigers' first five games of the year, going 2-for-20 with one RBI and one run scored while striking out five times. The 30-year-old saw his strikeout percentage drop from 33.7 percent in 2021 to 24.9 percent in 2022 and it appears that his discipline at the plate is closer to his 2022 form early this season. Ryan Kreidler will take over at shortstop and bat ninth Wednesday versus Houston.

Matt Manning - Earns tough road win Manning (1-0) allowed two runs on six hits across 5.2 innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Astros. He walked two and struck out four.
Impact Pitching at Minute Maid Park against a potent Houston lineup is no small task, but Manning held his own, earning the win in his first start of the year. The righty once again dealt with injuries in 2022, though he showed some promise with a 3.43 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 63 innings. Manning will look to keep moving in the right direction in his next scheduled start on April 11 against the Blue Jays on the road, which looks like another tough matchup.

Riley Greene - Tallies three hits in win Greene went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Astros.
Impact Greene and Spencer Torkelson went a combined 6-for-8 from the third and fourth spots in the order. The two youngsters have a ton of potential, and if they both heat up at the same time, they should be able to tally impressive counting stats as the key pieces of Detroit's offense. Greene showed some flashes during his MLB debut in 2022, and the outfielder could be ready for a step forward in 2023.
APRIL 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Spencer Torkelson - Goes deep in three-hit game Torkelson went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Astros.
Impact Torkelson doubled home a run in the top of the first inning, then blasted a two-run shot in the eighth for his first home run of the season. The 23-year-old had a tough rookie campaign last year, though there's plenty of talent here, so fantasy managers should stick with him, especially following Tuesday's strong performance.
