DETROIT TIGERS NEWS

Robbie Grossman - Nearing rehab assignment Grossman (neck) could start a rehab assignment Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact He has been on the injured list for about a week and if he begins a rehab assignment early next week, he could possibly be ready to return next weekend. Grossman hit .182 with zero home runs and one steal in 10 games before landing on the IL.

Tucker Barnhart - Heads to bench Barnhart is not in Sunday's lineup against the Yankees.

Impact It's not surprising to see Barnhart head to the bench given the 11:35 AM start time. Eric Haase will get the start behind the dish, hitting eighth.

Spencer Torkelson - Hitting second Sunday Torkelson is batting second Sunday against the Yankees.

Impact He hasn't hit higher than fifth in the lineup over the past month, so this would be a nice development if it sticks. Torkelson is hitting .226/.314/.290 over his last 10 games, so he hasn't necessarily earned a bump up the lineup. Unless his production picks up, he will likely be back hitting in the middle or bottom third of the lineup once Austin Meadows and Robbie Grossman return from injuries.

Beau Brieske - Best start of MLB career Brieske (0-5) gave up two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings Saturday against the Yankees. He took the loss.

Impact This was a very good performance by Brieske, especially considering the offense he was up against, but he got no run support. Saturday was Brieske's best statistical start of his big-league career, and the average velocity on all of his pitches spiked compared to his season averages. He sat 94.6 mph with his fastball (94.2 mph season average) and touched 96 mph. Similarly, his changeup averaged a firmer 83.5 mph (81.1 mph season average). His next chance projects to come next weekend at home against the Blue Jays.

Kody Clemens - Starting in left Saturday Clemens is starting in left field and batting seventh in Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Clemens made his MLB debut at second base, but this will now be his third start in left field. The 26-year-old's versatility is important, especially with the Tigers currently missing outfielders Robbie Grossman (neck), Austin Meadows (illness) and Victor Reyes (quadriceps). Clemens will likely see his role shrink once some of those other players start to return.

Harold Castro - Starting at first Castro is starting at first base and batting third in Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Spencer Torkelson is getting the day game off, so Castro will slide into the hole at first base. The versatile 28-year-old has played well this season with a .303/.320/.505 slash line across 32 games, so the Tigers will likely try to keep fitting him into the lineup whenever they can.

Elvin Rodriguez - Blasted for 10 runs Rodriguez (0-1) allowed 10 runs on 11 hits and two walks over 4.1 innings Friday, striking out four and taking a loss against the Yankees.

Impact Rodriguez turned in a pair of scoreless frames before things began to unravel in the third inning. Two of the four home runs he allowed came during the third, including Aaron Judge's solo shot with two outs. The other two were given up during the fifth and he was bounced from the contest after Matt Carpenter's two-run blast. Rodriguez's season ERA ballooned to 10.13 through 16 innings. He's currently projected for a home matchup with the Blue Jays next week.
