Riley Greene - Wants to limit groundballs Greene wants to improve his launch angle in 2023, with the hope of trading in some groundballs for line drives, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact Greene's average launch angle of 2.8 degrees was second-lowest among MLB hitters with at least 400 plate appearances last season. Not surprisingly, his groundball rate was 12 percent higher than league average as a result. The talented 22-year-old said he doesn't want to fall into the trap of being a flyball hitter, though he does want to make more hard contact and drive the ball into alleys and occasionally over the fence. Greene flashed signs of his potential during his 2022 debut, and if he can hit the ball with more authority in 2023, he could become a significant fantasy factor.

Eduardo Rodriguez - Set for spring debut Sunday Rodriguez is slated to start Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact The start will be Rodriguez's spring debut, and the lefty will be looking to rebound after a tumultuous 2022 debut in Detroit. He made only 17 starts for the Tigers as he missed significant time due to personal reasons. Rodriguez logged a respectable 4.05 ERA in those starts, though he only struck out 72 batters across 91 innings, giving him a 7.1 K/9. He had a 10.6 K/9 a year earlier with Boston, so he'll be looking for an improvement in that area this season as the leader of Detroit's staff.

2023 MLB World Series odds: Futures lines for every team
Spring training is here, so it's time to look at the 2023 World Series odds. Let's dive into the latest Fall Classic futures at FOX Bet!FEBRUARY 24, 2023
Rony García - Being used as reliever this spring Garcia is working as a reliever this spring, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact The Tigers aren't ruling out a return to starting for Garcia at some point down the line, but the plan for now is for him to be used as a multi-inning reliever. "His best route to this team will be in that bridge role of being stretched out to two and three innings," manager A.J. Hinch said. Garcia held a 4.41 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 48:13 K:BB over 51 innings spread between eight starts and eight relief appearances for Detroit last season.

José Cisnero - Dealing with neck spasm Cisnero has received treatment this week for a muscle spasm in the left side of his neck, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Impact It seems likely to be a day-to-day situation, but the Tigers are only saying that Ciseno will resume workouts once symptoms subside. The 33-year-old right-hander is in the mix to compete for the closer job this season, so any missed time during camp isn't ideal.

Reese Olson - Slated for live BP Olson (elbow) will throw live batting practice March 1, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Olson has been eased into things during camp due to some soreness in his pitching elbow, but he appears to be making progress. The 23-year-old is likely set to begin the season at Triple-A Toledo.

Tyler Alexander - Should fill bullpen role Alexander is expected to primarily work in relief this season, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Impact Alexander made 17 starts and 10 relief appearances in 2022, but he's likely to be much more of a bullpen option this year with Matthew Boyd and Spencer Turnbull back in the starting mix coming off injuries. Newcomer Michael Lorenzen also figures to slot into the rotation, along with Eduardo Rodriguez and Matt Manning. Alexander is a valuable lefty swingman for the Tigers, though his fantasy value will be limited in a relief role. He's always an option to start if a need arises, however.

Ashton Goudeau - Inks MiLB deal with Detroit Goudeau signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Tuesday and received an invitation to major-league spring training.
Impact Goudeau put up a 7.08 ERA and a 1.72 WHIP through 20.1 major-league innings with Colorado last season, and his minor-league stats weren't outstanding either with a 9.51 ERA and 1.93 WHIP over 64.1 frames. The 30-year-old reliever will spend spring with the big-league club, but will almost certainly serve as organizational depth in Triple-A.
