Gregory Soto - Blows save, loses Soto (2-10) blew the save and took the loss in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader in Seattle, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits in one-third of an inning in a 7-6 extra-inni...
Impact Soto entered the game in the 10th inning with the Tigers leading 6-5 and allowed two singles and a sacrifice fly as Seattle plated two runs to win the game. Just five of his 11 pitches went for strikes. It was just his third blown save of the season and first since June 16. The lefty has a 2.08 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB in 13 innings since the beginning of September.

Eduardo Rodriguez - Quality start in no-decision Rodriguez allowed three runs on six hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out seven in six innings in a 7-6 extra-inning loss in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader in Seattle...
Impact Rodriguez ran into trouble in the third inning as Curt Casali and Mitch Haniger each put balls into the seat, resulting in three runs being scored. Rodriguez otherwise held the Mariners in check and induced two groundball double plays. It was his fourth straight start of at least six innings. He ends his first year in Detroit with a 4.05 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 72:34 K:BB in 91 innings across 17 starts.

Will Vest - Set to open Game 2 Vest is expected to start Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mariners, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact The 27-year-old made an emergency start last week and is set to start again in Tuesday's nightcap, assuming he isn't needed to pitch in Game 1. Vest hasn't covered more than an inning during any of his past 10 outings, so he's unlikely to record more than a few outs as an opener.

Jonathan Schoop - Gets afternoon off Schoop will sit for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mariners.
Impact Schoop owns a .674 OPS in 14 games since his return from an ankle injury, though that's actually been enough to raise his season-long OPS, which now sits at .566. Harold Castro will get the start at second base.

Elvin Rodriguez - Up for doubleheader Rodriguez is serving as the 29th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mariners. He is expected to pitch in Game 2.
Impact It remains unclear whether Rodriguez will work as a traditional starter or if he will follow an opener. He has a 10.04 ERA in 26 MLB innings and a 4.98 ERA in 99.1 innings at Triple-A. Rodriguez has not logged more than four innings in an appearance since Aug. 31 at Triple-A, so following an opener would greatly increase his chances of being the pitcher of record after five innings.

Elvin Rodriguez - Set to join Detroit for twin bill The Tigers plan to recall Rodriguez from Triple-A Toledo to have him pitch in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Mariners, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact Rodriguez is expected to be designated as the 29th man for the twin bill, but the Tigers haven't indicated whether he'll be in line for a traditional start in the nightcap or if he'll be deployed as a bulk reliever. Either way, Rodriguez profiles as the Tigers pitcher most likely to factor into any decision. Over 26 innings at the big-league level in 2022, Rodriguez has generated a 10.04 ERA and 1.85 WHIP.

Akil Baddoo - Swipes two bags in win Baddoo went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run and two stolen bases in a 4-3 victory versus the Mariners on Monday.
Impact Baddoo served as an excellent table setter atop the lineup, reaching base three times. He led off the contest with a walk and subsequently stole second base before coming around to score on a Miguel Cabrera single. Baddoo is up to nine thefts on the campaign, which is half as many as he recorded as a rookie last season, though he's seen substantially less playing time in 2022.

Javier Báez - Snaps Kirby's homerless streak Baez went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 4-3 win over Seattle.
Impact Seattle starter George Kirby entered the contest having gone 14 starts since serving up his last long ball, but Baez snapped that streak with his two-run shot in the third inning on an 0-2 slider. The homer was Baez's 18th of the campaign, giving him an outside chance of reaching 20 for his fifth straight full season (excluding the substantially shortened 2020 campaign). Baez's power has ticked up near the end of the season, as he has five long balls over his past 16 contests.
OCTOBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Andrew Chafin - Notches second save in three days Chafin earned the save against Seattle on Monday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over one inning.
Impact Chafin was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth frame and worked around a two-out single and stolen base to get the job done. He threw nine of 15 pitches for strikes and racked up multiple punchouts for his third straight outing. Chafin has picked up two saves in the past three days, with Gregory Soto recording a save of his own in between. Soto is clearly still the Tigers' primary closer, but Chafin has posted consecutive strong campaigns in a high-leverage role.

Bryan Garcia - Beats Seattle for second win Garcia (2-0) earned the win over the Mariners on Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six batters over 6.2 innings.
Impact Garcia was called up earlier in the day to make his first major-league start since Aug. 15. He allowed a run in the first frame but bounced back by keeping Seattle off the scoreboard over the next three innings. The right-hander yielded another run in the fifth and departed with two outs in the seventh, after which one more run was posted to his final line. Garcia finished with a season-best six punchouts and his second quality start of the campaign. This was his first season working as a starter in the majors, and he finished with a respectable 3.54 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB over 20.1 innings.
