Harold Castro - Remains out Tuesday Castro (calf) remains on the bench Tuesday against the Red Sox.
Impact Castro left Sunday's series finale against the Rangers with calf tightness and didn't play Monday. His absence isn't necessarily injury-related, however, as the return of Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) means Castro no longer needs to start at third base. Whether or not he's available in a bench role Tuesday is unclear.

Victor Reyes - Ducks out of lineup Reyes is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston.
Impact Willi Castro will pick up a start in right field in place of Reyes, who had started at the position while batting leadoff in six of the Tigers' previous seven contests. Reyes hit .308 and scored two runs over that six-game stretch and should maintain the upper hand over Castro for making starts against right-handed pitching, though the switch-hitting Reyes will head to the bench Tuesday with southpaw Rich Hill on the mound for Boston.
JUNE 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tucker Barnhart - Not in Tuesday's lineup Barnhart will sit Tuesday against Boston.
Impact Barnhart has started just three times in the last seven games, while Tuesday's catcher, Eric Haase, has started five times over that stretch, including once as the designated hitter. While Barnhart's .529 OPS suggests he may deserve to see his playing time slip, Haase's .605 mark isn't much better, so the recent shift in workloads may be a temporary one.

Spencer Torkelson - Two more hits Monday Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI in Monday's loss to the Red Sox.
Impact That's three straight multi-hit efforts for Torkelson, which has pushed his season batting average from .178 up to .198. It's still a rough number overall for the rookie, but fantasy managers are at least seeing signs that the 2020 No. 1 overall pick is starting to figure things out at the plate. Torkelson's fantasy stock should continue to climb as he gains confidence at the MLB level.
JUNE 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Faedo - Struggles continue Monday Faedo (1-4) allowed five runs (four earned) on eight hits across 4.1 innings to take the loss Monday against the Red Sox. He walked two and struck out two.
Impact Pitching against this Boston lineup at Fenway Park is a tough task, and Faedo never really found his footing, as the Red Sox scored at least one run in the first, third, fourth and fifth innings. That's two rough outings in a row for the righty, who's allowed 11 earned runs across his past 7.1 innings. Faedo has seen his ERA rise from 2.92 to 4.67 in the process. He's lined up to start again Saturday against the Diamondbacks, and given his recent results, fantasy managers should probably look elsewhere until Faedo shows signs of turning things around.

Daz Cameron - Resumes workouts Cameron cleared COVID-19 protocols Monday and resumed workouts, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Cameron has been on the COVID-19 injured list for nearly two weeks. While he's now cleared protocols, he's expected to work out for the next few days and then begin a rehab assignment, so his return to the active roster is still several days away.

Willi Castro - Loses out on everyday role Castro remains out of the lineup for Monday's game in Boston.
Impact Castro finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row and looks like he'll have to handle a fourth-outfielder role for the time being after Detroit promoted top prospect Riley Greene from Triple-A Toledo over the weekend. Meanwhile, Victor Reyes has hit .333 since coming off the injured list June 11 and seems to have solidified himself as the Tigers' top right fielder for the time being, though both he and Castro will likely face a tougher path to playing time whenever Austin Meadows (illness) comes off the COVID-19-related IL.

Harold Castro - Not starting Monday Castro (calf) is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Boston.
Impact Castro is day-to-day after exiting Sunday's 7-3 win due to calf tightness, but even if he avoided an injury to close out the weekend, he would likely be on the outside looking in for a spot in Detroit's lineup. The Tigers reinstated Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list and will immediately slot him back in the starting nine at third base, the position Castro had been primarily playing for the past two weeks. Assuming his calf issue doesn't force him to the IL, Castro will likely handle a utility role for Detroit moving forward.
JUNE 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jeimer Candelario - Back from injured list Candelario (shoulder) was activated off the injured list as expected Monday.
Impact Candelario wound up missing two weeks with a left shoulder subluxation, but he's good to go after grabbing six hits (including two doubles and a homer) across four rehab games. The Tigers will hope to see more performances like that going forward and fewer of the games which saw him slump to a .181/.236/.319 line prior to the injury.

José Cisnero - Rehabbing in Florida Cisnero (shoulder/Achilles) reported to the Tigers' spring training facility in Lakeland, Fla. on Monday to continue his rehab program, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Cisnero said he expects to spend about two weeks building up in Florida before heading to Triple-A Toledo for a rehab assignment. The right-hander opened the season on the Tigers' 60-day injured list while recovering from a strained shoulder and was cleared to begin a rehab assignment June 9, but he was pulled off the assignment after just one appearance when he experienced swelling in his Achilles' tendon.

Michael Fulmer - Secures 10th hold Fulmer tossed a scoreless inning of relief to earn a hold in Sunday's win over the Rangers. He struck out one.
Impact Fulmer is up to 10 holds this season, and he's pitched well with a 2.16 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 26 strikeouts across 25 innings. He's surpassed the nine holds he recorded last year, though he also posted 14 saves in 2021 as the Tigers were a bit more fluid with the closer role. This year, Gregory Soto leads the team with 13 saves, while Fulmer has just one so far. It looks like he'll continue to rack up holds, but Soto has the closer role fairly secure at this point.
JUNE 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Spencer Torkelson - Drives in two Sunday Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Rangers.
Impact That's consecutive two-hit games for Torkelson, who may finally be starting to break out. The rookie is still batting just .190 with a 26.5 percent strikeout rate, so it will take a little while for his overall stat line to look a little better. With the Tigers sitting at 26-40, Torkelson along with fellow top rookie Riley Greene should see plenty of playing time in a rebuilding campaign. Both players have the talent to post nice fantasy numbers the rest of the way, though growing pains are likely.
