Willi Castro - Takes seat Tuesday Castro is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.
Impact After seeing a run of four consecutive starts come to an end in the second game of Monday's doubleheader, Castro will remain on the bench Tuesday while Victor Reyes gets another turn in right field. The two players still look to be part of a timeshare at the position, especially while Castro continues to swing a hot bat. Unless he's used as a pinch hitter off the bench, Castro will put his six-game hitting streak on hold Tuesday.

Tucker Barnhart - Not starting Tuesday Barnhart is on the bench Tuesday against the Guardians.
Impact Eric Haase will start at catcher in place of Barnhart, who has doubled in consecutive games but is hitting just .191 with three extra-base hits and four RBI since the beginning of June.

Javier Báez - Resting Tuesday Baez isn't starting Tuesday's game versus Cleveland.
Impact Baez has swung a better bat of late, hitting .269 with seven extra-base hits and nine RBI in his last 13 games. That said, he still has a dreadful .602 OPS through 67 contests this season. Harold Castro starts at shortstop Tuesday.
JULY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Drew Hutchison - Officially joins active roster The Tigers selected Hutchison's contract from Triple-A Toledo ahead of his start Tuesday versus Cleveland.
Impact Hutchison is back with the Tigers after they designated him for assignment June 22. The righty has a 4.81 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 24.1 innings across 12 appearances this season. His longest outing was a 4.2-inning effort June 19, so it's unlikely he exceeds five innings of work Tuesday.
JULY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sam Howard - Dropped from 40-man roster The Tigers designated Howard for assignment Tuesday.
Impact He'll cede his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Drew Hutchison, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Toledo ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Guardians. After being claimed off waivers from the Pirates in mid-May, Howard had pitched exclusively at the Triple-A level with his new organization. In 14 appearances out of the Toledo bullpen, Howard posted a 3.75 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 12 innings.

Jonathan Schoop - Stays hot in nightcap Schoop went 2-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI on Monday in the Tigers' 5-3 win over the Guardians in the second half of a doubleheader.
Impact Schoop was the standout performer of the Tigers' sweep of the twin bill, as he finished the day 6-for-8 with a stolen base, three runs and an RBI while picking up starts in both contests. The big day was much needed for Schoop, who had produced six hits combined over his previous nine contests. He's still sitting on a lowly .207/.238/.323 slash line for the season, but Monday's performance likely bought him some extra security in an everyday role.

Tyler Alexander - Earns win in relief Monday Alexander (2-3) worked around two hits to toss 3.1 scoreless innings and earn the win in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Guardians. He had no walks or strikeouts.
Impact Alexander came on in the fourth inning when starter Alex Faedo departed with right hip soreness. The lefty reliever did a nice job, and he earned his second win of the season after the Tigers rallied for the 5-3 win. Alexander has a 4.56 ERA this season, but he's been much better since returning from the injured list last month. Across 13.1 innings following his return, he has a miniscule 0.68 ERA.

Will Vest - Headed to minors Vest was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Guardians, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Vest has been a reliable reliever for the Tigers so far this season, as he's posted a 3.41 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with a 32:11 K:BB across 29 frames in 2022. He'll be sent to Triple-A to make room for the addition of Drew Hutchison, who is scheduled to start Tuesday's contest.
JULY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joe Jiménez - Earns first 2022 save Jimenez pitched a perfect ninth inning in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Guardians to earn the save. He struck out one.
Impact The Tigers used regular closer Gregory Soto to lock down a win in Game 1, so they turned to Jimenez in the nightcap. The righty looked good, retiring the side on just 11 pitches. Jimenez has been solid this season with a 3.23 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 40 strikeouts across 30.2 innings. Along with Soto, he's a candidate to get traded to a contender that needs bullpen help before the deadline next month.

Eric Haase - Goes deep in Game 2 Haase went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two runs scored in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Guardians.
Impact Haase didn't start the first game with Tucker Barnhart getting the nod behind the plate, but he made an impact in the nightcap and helped lead the Tigers to a 5-3 win and a sweep of the doubleheader. Haase now has six home runs this season, including four over his last 11 games. The power surge could continue to earn him playing time ahead of Barnhart moving forward.

Detroit Tigers' Alex Faedo leaves Game 2 of doubleheader with right hip soreness Detroit Tigers rookie Alex Faedo left Monday's start against the Guardians with right hip soreness in the fourth inning.
JULY 5, 2022 • FREEP.COM
Alex Faedo - Diagnosed with hip soreness Faedo left the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Guardians due to right hip soreness, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Faedo is up with the club as the 27th man for Monday's twin bill, so as Woodbery notes, he'll be sent back to Triple-A Toledo regardless of his health. He'll likely be re-evaluated in the coming days to determine whether he'll require a stint on the minor-league injured list.

Impact The team evidently spotted something in Faedo's delivery that looked off, and after skipper A.J. Hinch watched him toss a few warmup pitches, he was lifted from the contest. The club should reveal more on his injury after further evaluation.

Jonathan Schoop - Singles four times Schoop went 4-for-4 with two runs scored and a stolen base in a Game 1 victory during Monday's doubleheader against Cleveland.
Impact Schoop was perfect at the plate Monday with four singles, including a base hit in the seventh followed by his second steal of the year. Since his last game with at least three hits May 30, Schoop has posted a .515 OPS over 28 appearances. He's now slashing .203/.235/.317 with 23 runs scored through 75 games.

Jeimer Candelario - Catches breather Monday night Candelario is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Guardians.
Impact Candelario went 0-for-4 in the first game of Monday's twin bill, so he will open the second contest on the bench. Harold Castro will man the hot corner in Candelario's place.
