Tigers vs. Astros Detroit Tigers take on the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas on April 4, 2023.
Tarik Skubal - Playing catch for a week Skubal (elbow) is completing a throwing progression and is playing catch for a week, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Skubal is on the 60-day injured list while dealing with a left elbow sprain. The left-hander will be able to throw -- but not off the mound -- for a week, and the Tigers will determine his next step after. It's likely Subal won't be able to pitch for Detroit until the start of summer.

Beau Brieske - Still being evaluated Brieske (arm) continues to receive further medical evaluation, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Brieske is on the injured list to begin the year with right upper arm discomfort, and there's still no word as to when the right-hander will be ready to return. Because of the missed time and the lack of clarity it seems likely that he won't be ready to come off the injured list when first eligible.

Casey Mize - Playing catch three times a week Mize (elbow, back) is currently playing catch three times a week in his throwing program, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Impact Miz is on the 60-day injured list while recovering from Tommy John surgery last June and also back surgery around the same time. The right-hander isn't likely to return to the Tigers until September with a very good chance he won't pitch in 2023 at all.

Austin Meadows - Taking a seat Tuesday Meadows is not in the Tigers' lineup for Tuesday's game in Houston.
Impact Meadows had started each of his team's first four games but will take a seat in this one as the Astros throw left-hander Framber Valdez. Eric Haase is in left field.

Impact Vierling singled three times and scored a run in the second inning but he saved the best for last with his two-run, go-ahead blast in the 11th. He took Hector Neris deep with a 108 mph rocket to dead center. Vierling snapped an 0-for-7 skid through his first two games as a Tiger.

Matthew Boyd - Allows two runs Boyd yielded two runs on two hits and three walks over 4.1 innings during Monday's win over Houston. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.
Impact Boyd kept the Astros' offense tame until they finally broke through in the fifth. He gave up one run on a Jeremy Pena groundout and was charged with another when Yordan Alvarez took Jose Cisnero deep. Boyd forced just six whiffs on 35 swings. He's expected to face the Red Sox at home this weekend.

Impact Hill entered a 7-5 game in the 11th inning and finished things off after allowing only the automatic runner to score. He coughed up two runs in his first appearance this season. Alex Lange blew a save chance but should still have a grip on the closer role in Detroit.

Impact Lorenzen was cleared for rehab games after he got through a live batting practice session and pitchers' fielding practice Monday with no issues. He's missed a few weeks with a left groin strain, so Lorenzen figures to require a couple rehab starts before joining the Tigers' rotation.
