DETROIT TIGERS NEWS

Matt Manning - Cleared to throw Manning (biceps) was cleared to resume throwing Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Manning made just two starts before being shut down with biceps tendinitis. He'd embarked on a rehab assignment in early May before being shut down again late in the month, but he'll now be able to restart his throwing program. It's unclear how far away his eventual return will be, but he's at least trending in the right direction again.

Eduardo Rodriguez - Begins rehab stint Thursday Rodriguez (ribs) will report to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday for a rehab assignment, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact The left-hander has already been on the injured list for more than the 15-day minimum, and he's now entering the final stage of his rehab program. Rodriguez may only need one start in the minors before rejoining the active roster, so he could be back in Detroit's starting rotation next week if Thursday's starts with Toledo goes well.

Casey Mize - Shut down from throwing Manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Mize (elbow) continues to feel discomfort while throwing and will be shut down while seeking additional medical opinions, Jason Beck of MLB.com...

Impact Mize had his rehab slowed in mid-May but resumed throwing early last week. However, he was unable to throw from 90 feet without experiencing pain and will face another shutdown as a result. A better idea of the right-hander's status will likely be known after he receives additional opinions on his elbow.

Derek Hill - On bench Tuesday Hill is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Impact With Austin Meadows (vertigo) returning from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, the Tigers will have one fewer spot available in the everyday outfield until Robbie Grossman (neck) is back from the IL. Willi Castro appears to have solidified a regular job at this point, so Hill and Daz Cameron will have to jockey for playing time at the other spot. Cameron will get the nod Tuesday while Hill takes a seat after going 0-for-8 over his last four contests.

Harold Castro - Gets nod at third base Castro will start at third base and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Impact With Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) moving to the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Castro looks like he'll get the first crack to replace him as the everyday third baseman. The versatile Castro had already picked up work at three different positions (left field, first base and shortstop) while staring in five of the Tigers' previous six games, but Candelario's absence creates a more permanent pathway to playing time.

Victor Reyes - Beginning rehab assignment Reyes (quadriceps) is set to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Robbie Grossman (neck) will also kick off a rehab assignment with Toledo, but he'll likely make his way back to Detroit's 26-man active roster sooner than Reyes, who has been sidelined for two weeks longer than Grossman and was a fringe big-league player to begin with. Once Reyes shows during his rehab assignment that he's fully recovered from the right quad strain, the Tigers will have to decide if he's a better option than Derek Hill or Daz Cameron as the team's fourth outfielder.

Jeimer Candelario - Placed on injured list Candelario was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder subluxation Tuesday.

Impact Candelario suffered the injury Sunday against the Yankees. The transaction was backdated by one day, meaning Candelario will be eligible to return next Thursday, but it's not yet clear whether that's a potential target date. A subluxation is a minor dislocation, so the third baseman's recover time will depend on just how minor his particular dislocation is. Harold Castro is the only other Tiger to play third base thus far this season, so he'll likely spend a fair amount of time there in Candelario's absence.

Austin Meadows - Back from IL The Tigers reinstated Meadows (vertigo) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Meadows is ready to rejoin the Tigers after he completed a four-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo last week in which he went 2-for-13 with a home run and two walks. With Meadows exhibiting no symptoms of vertigo in his return to action for the Triple-A club, he should quickly settle back into an everyday role with the Tigers.

JUNE 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Akil Baddoo - Active at Triple-A Baddoo (oblique) was activated off the injured list for Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Baddoo was optioned to Toledo in early May after posting a .140/.218/.220 slash line to start the season. He appeared in just two games at that level before being shut down with an oblique injury, but he's ready to go again after making a trio of rehab appearances. He went 0-for-10 with five strikeouts in those rehab games, however, so there's been little indication his performance is about to change.

Wilmer Flores - Continues good run at Double-A Through four starts with Double-A Erie, Flores has a 3.12 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 22 strikeouts across 17.1 innings.

Impact Flores dazzled earlier this year with High-A West Michigan, delivering a 1.83 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 35:2 K:BB across 19.2 innings, and he's continuing his strong play at the new level. The 21-year-old is putting himself on the map as one of the organization's top pitching prospects. If Flores keeps this up, he very well could be in the majors sometime next season.

Harold Castro - Might see more time at third With Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) potentially headed to the injured list Tuesday, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News, Castro could see more regular time at third base.

Impact Castro has been a valuable utility player for the Tigers this season with a .286/.303/.476 slash line across 34 games while appearing at every position except for catcher and right field, but the team may need him to settle in a bit more at the hot corner if Candelario has to miss time. Kody Clemens is also an option to see more time at third in the short term if needed.

Detroit Tigers Newsletter: Bucs, bucks and Javier Báez's big swings Yes, Javier Báez's bat has been a bummer, but the Detroit Tigers' other free-agent options haven't fared much better in 2022, trust us.

Jeimer Candelario - May be headed to IL The Tigers will make a determination about whether Candelario (shoulder) needs to be placed on the injured list ahead of Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh, Chris McCosky of The Detroit...

Impact Manager A.J. Hinch said Candelario felt his shoulder shift when he dove and hit the ground before exiting Sunday's game. Hinch added that he doesn't want to play with a limited roster, so it sounds like an IL stint for Candelario is likely, although he will get a "battery of tests" before then, according to Hinch. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, that decision may not be made until Tuesday, as the Tigers are off Monday.

Tigers Talk: How Elvin Rodriguez learned he was tipping pitches against the Yankees Notes on the viral Jomboy video, Javier Báez's worsening struggles, Akil Baddoo, draft intel and more.

JUNE 6, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Javier Báez - Tallies two hits Sunday Baez went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a run and a strikeout during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Yankees.

Impact Baez went 0-for-6 with four strikeouts over the first two games of the series against the Yankees after he sat out the final two games of the series against the Angels, but he generated some production during Sunday's matchup. In spite of his encouraging performance to close out the series, the 29-year-old has struggled mightily at the plate recently, as he's hit .146 with two doubles, three RBI, a run and 13 strikeouts over his last 11 games.

JUNE 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gregory Soto - Charged with loss Sunday Soto (2-3) allowed an unearned run on a hit and two strikeouts in 1.1 innings to take the loss during Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Soto has been effective as the Tigers' primary closer recently, and he had tossed 8.2 scoreless innings over his nine appearances prior to Sunday's outing while converting all six of his save chances during that time. Although he was charged with his third loss of the year since he allowed the Yankees' ghost runner to come across in the bottom of the 10th inning Sunday, he's built up decent job security as Detroit's preferred ninth-inning option.

JUNE 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rony García - Settles for no-decision Sunday Garcia allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four in five innings during Sunday's loss to the Yankees. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact Garcia gave up a two-run homer in the top of the fourth inning Sunday, but he showed improvement after allowing six runs in five innings during his last outing. The right-hander has been inconsistent over his three appearances since joining the starting rotation, and he's settled for no-decisions in two of his three starts. Garcia should remain in the rotation while the Tigers' other starters are dealing with injuries, and he tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Blue Jays next Sunday.
