Miguel Cabrera - Return for 2023 confirmed Cabrera will return for the 2023 season, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Cabrera will turn 40 in April and has been a below-average hitter in four of the last six seasons, but he has 32 million reasons to return next year. The 2023 season will be the final guaranteed year of the eight-year, $248 million extension Cabrera signed prior to the 2014 season. His contract contains vesting options for 2024 and 2025, but it would take a top-10 MVP finish for those years to vest. Cabrera has been about as far from MVP level as possible this season, hitting just .251/.299/.315 while exclusively serving as the designated hitter.

Jeimer Candelario - Sits again Saturday Candelario remains on the bench for Saturday's game against the Twins.
Impact Candelario's age-28 season has been a disappointing one, as his .210/.267/.360 slash line (78 wRC+) represents a significant drop from the .278/.356/.458 line (125 wRC+) he managed over the previous two years. He'll sit for the second straight game, with Brendon Davis getting the nod at third base.

Miguel Cabrera - Sitting Saturday Cabrera isn't starting Saturday against the Twins.
Impact Cabrera went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts during Friday's series opener against Minnesota, and he'll head to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Javier Baez is serving as the designated hitter while Ryan Kreidler starts at shortstop.

Tyler Alexander - Tagged for three runs Alexander (4-11) took the loss to the Twins on Friday, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out six and walking four over five innings.
Impact Alexander had a rough outing Friday, tossing 57 of 90 pitches for strikes and allowing nine baserunners. The hits and walks turned out to be Alexander's biggest downfall as all three runs he allowed came thanks to an RBI single, double and triple. Friday's appearance comes after two back-to-back quality starts for the lefty, who saw his ERA rise to 4.72 after the outing.

Willi Castro - Hits injured list as expected Castro (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.
Impact The move was an expected one, as Castro was ruled out for the season after straining his left hamstring while running the bases Thursday against the Royals. Castro will end the year with a .241/.284/.367 slash line, homering eight times and stealing nine bases in 112 games. Brendon Davis was recalled to take his place on the roster.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Brendon Davis - Promoted to majors Davis was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.
Impact Davis has yet to play in a major league game in his career, but he has enjoyed a solid season in Triple-A this season. He holds a .235/.340/.423 slash line alongside 20 home runs and 72 RBI. He will likely serve as a depth piece for the Tigers for the rest of the season with Willi Castro (hamstring) moving to the 10-day injured list, ending his campaign.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jeimer Candelario - Heads to bench Candelario will sit Thursday against the Twins.
Impact Candelario has gone 8-for-20 with four doubles across his last six games, though that's only been enough to drag his season-long slash line up to .210/.267/.360. Harold Castro will start at third base Friday.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Haase - Remains out of lineup Haase isn't starting Friday against the Twins.
Impact Haase has gone 2-for-8 with two runs, three walks and a strikeout over the last four matchups but will be on the bench for the third time in the last four games. Tucker Barnhart is starting behind the plate and batting ninth.

Eduardo Rodriguez - Cruises to win Thursday Rodriguez (5-5) tossed 6.2 scoreless innings to earn the win Thursday against the Royals. He allowed five hits and four walks, while striking out three.
Impact The four walks were a bit high, but it was otherwise a stellar outing for Rodriguez. The lefty has now registered three straight quality starts, with wins in two of those games. Rodriguez was out due to personal reasons for about two and half months, so he's only made 16 starts to date in his first season with the Tigers. He could be primed for a strong 2023 campaign if he makes 30 or more starts, which he did in his last two seasons before this year. Rodriguez is lined up to make one final 2022 start Tuesday against the Mariners.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tucker Barnhart - Registers three hits in win Barnhart went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and two RBI in Thursday's 10-3 win over the Royals.
Impact Barnhart is batting just .221 this season, but he managed to provide a nice offensive boost Thursday. It was the catcher's fourth three-hit effort of the year and his second this month. Barnhart may see a few more starts in relief of Eric Haase before the season wraps up, and he's unlikely to provide much more fantasy value.
