GAME LOG

Wily Peralta - Earns second win Peralta (2-0) pitched two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins. He allowed two walks and struck out one.
Impact Peralta entered the game in the fifth inning after Joey Wentz departed with a strained left shoulder. Wentz had staked the Tigers to a 4-0 lead, and Peralta kept the Twins off the board to earn the relief win. The righty has pitched well this season with a 0.81 ERA across 22.1 innings, though his fantasy value is capped as long as he's working as a long reliever and not starting games.

Kody Clemens - Hitless in MLB debut Clemens went 0-for-3 with a walk in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins.
Impact Clemens was called up from Triple-A Toledo on Monday and waited until the second game Tuesday to make his MLB debut. The 26-year-old replaced Robbie Grossman (neck) on the active roster, with the latter hitting the 10-day injured list Monday. Clemens will likely occupy a bench role while he's in the majors, which limits his fantasy potential for the time being.

Jonathan Schoop - Drives in four Tuesday Schoop went 2-for-7 with a walk, a home run and four RBI across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins.
Impact Schoop scuffled in the first game, going 0-for-4 with a strikeout, but he bounced back in the second game and drove in all of the Tigers' runs in a 4-0 win. That effort included his fifth home run of the season, and he boosted his RBI total to 14. Schoop will need more games like this to improve his .189 batting average, though he's done better lately with an even .300 average over his past 10 contests.

Joey Wentz - Exits with shoulder strain Wentz was removed from Tuesday's start in Game 2 of the doubleheader against the Twins with a strained left shoulder. He was optioned to Triple-A Toledo after the contest.
Impact The 24-year-old was promoted to start Tuesday's nightcap and pitched well with only one single allowed over four scoreless innings, but he was forced to leave early due to the injury. Wentz was poised to return to Toledo regardless since he was serving as the 27th man for the twin bill, but the injury could affect his availability for another call-up to the big leagues, depending on its severity.

Rony García - Stumbles against Twins Garcia (0-1) took the loss in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins, surrendering six runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out seven.
Impact The whiffs salvaged a bit of fantasy value for the right-hander, but Garcia still turned in his worst performance of the season in his second start. His spot in Detroit's rotation is fairly secure given the team has six starters on the IL at the moment, but the 24-year-old should return to the bullpen once the likes of Eduardo Rodriguez (ribs) and Tyler Alexander (elbow) are ready to return. Garcia will carry a 4.70 ERA and 29:6 K:BB through 23 innings into his next outing.
MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Miguel Cabrera - Won't start in Game 2 Cabrera is out of the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Twins.
Impact Before serving as the Tigers' designated hitter while going 1-for-4 with a run in an 8-2 loss in Game 1, Cabrera had missed the team's previous two contests with lower-back tightness. Cabrera avoided any setbacks in the afternoon game, but the Tigers never intended to have him play both ends of the twin bill coming off the injury. Jonathan Schoop will fill in for him in the nightcap as the Tigers' DH.
MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Derek Hill - Takes seat for second game Hill is out of the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Twins.
Impact Hill will hit the bench after he started in center field and went 1-for-3 in the Tigers' 8-2 loss in Game 1. Willi Castro will shift over from left field to replace Hill in center for the nightcap.

Casey Mize - Shifts to 60-day IL The Tigers transferred Mize (elbow) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.
Impact Mize has been on the shelf since April 15 and didn't resume his throwing program until Monday, so he was already on track to spend more than the minimum 60 days on the IL. As a result, the transaction won't affect his timeline for a return. The right-hander is gradually expected to increase his long-toss distance off flat ground before potentially advancing to mound work at some point next week.

Will Vest - Activated from IL The Tigers reinstated Vest (illness) from the COVID-19-related injured list in advance of the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Twins, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact Manager A.J. Hinch said earlier in the day that Vest wouldn't be activated from the IL until Wednesday, but the Tigers opted to expedite the right-hander's return so the team could have a fresh arm in the bullpen for the final game of the twin bill. Drew Carlton, who tossed three innings of long relief in the Tigers' 8-2 loss in Game 1, was optioned to Triple-A Toledo to clear a spot for Vest. The 26-year-old made a 10-pitch relief appearance in a rehab game with Toledo on Monday, so the Tigers would likely prefer to stay away from Vest on Tuesday, if possible.
MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Drew Carlton - Demoted after three-inning outing The Tigers optioned Carlton to Triple-A Toledo ahead of the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Twins, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Detroit will activate Will Vest (illness) from the COVID-19-related injured list in a corresponding move, adding a fresh arm to the bullpen for the remaining contest of the twin bill. Carlton worked three innings of long relief in the Tigers' 8-2 loss in Game 1, giving up two unearned runs on one hit and no walks while striking out four.
MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Alexander - Works three frames in rehab game Alexander (elbow) was charged with five earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two over three innings in his first rehab start Monday at Triple-A Toledo.
Impact Pitching in a game for the first time since April 29 after being sidelined with a left elbow sprain, Alexander wasn't particularly sharp, with Tigers manager A.J. Hinch noting that the southpaw had "a couple bad changeups," per Evan Petzold of The Detroit Free Press. Alexander at least displayed decent control during the outing, pumping in 36 of his 51 pitches for strikes. He's scheduled to make his second rehab start with Toledo on Saturday, and Hinch said that he wants Alexander to get stretched out to around 90 pitches before he's activated from the 15-day injured list and reinstalled in the big-league rotation. With that in mind, Alexander could need a third rehab start prior to being reinstated.
MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Austin Meadows - Reporting to Triple-A for rehab Meadows (vertigo) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact After he received clearance to resume baseball activities last week at the Tigers' spring training facility in Florida, Meadows avoided any setbacks in his recovery from vertigo and will now advance to game action. The Tigers will likely want to have Meadows play more than one game in the minors before activating him from the 10-day injured list, but he should be ready to go at some point during Detroit's upcoming five-game, two-city road trip. After the Tigers wrap up their homestand this week, the team will head to New York to begin a series with the Yankees on Friday.
MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Will Vest - Expected back Wednesday Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Vest (illness) is expected to be activated from the COVID-19-related injured list Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Vest tested positive for COVID-19 on May 20, but he's since cleared all protocols and made a successful rehab appearance Monday for Triple-A Toledo, retiring the side in a perfect 10-pitch, 10-strike inning. Before landing on the COVID-19-related IL, Vest turned in a 2.12 ERA and 0.65 WHIP with 22 punchouts over 17 innings for Detroit.
MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joey Wentz - Called up ahead of start The Tigers recalled Wentz from Triple-A Toledo ahead of his scheduled start in the second game of the team's doubleheader with the Twins in Detroit.
Impact Detroit is designating Wentz as its 27th man for the twin bill, so he's expected to be returned to Triple-A following Tuesday's games. The 24-year-old lefty will be looking for better results in his second MLB start, after he struggled mightily in his Tigers debut back on May 11. He lasted just 2.2 innings in a start against Oakland, giving up six earned runs on seven hits and two walks.
MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Daz Cameron - Primed for everyday role Cameron will start in right field and bat eighth in the first game Tuesday's doubleheader with the Twins.
Impact Cameron will be making his sixth consecutive start and looks like he could get the chance to play regularly against both left- and right-handed pitching following Robbie Grossman's (neck) placement on the 10-day injured list Monday. Through 36 plate appearances with Detroit this season, Cameron is slashing a woeful .156/.250/.156.
MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Willi Castro - Leading off again Castro will start in left field and bat leadoff in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Twins.
Impact After going 2-for-3 with two RBI while batting out of the No. 6 spot in the order in Sunday's 7-5 win, Castro will get a look in the leadoff role for the first time in 2022. While usual table setter Robbie Grossman (neck) is sidelined, the Tigers could audition a number of players atop the lineup, with Castro and utility man Harold Castro having now received looks in the leadoff role in the two games since Grossman landed on the injured list.
MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Harold Castro - On bench for Game 1 Castro is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Twins.
Impact After starting each of the Tigers' past three games while going a collective 4-for-12 at the dish, Castro will take a seat as the Tigers roll out an all-righty-hitting lineup to counter Twins southpaw Devin Smeltzer. Castro doesn't have a clear path to an everyday role at any position at the moment, but his .836 OPS over 86 plate appearances has given him a compelling case to earn more work in a Tigers offense that has struggled mightily for much of the season.
MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tucker Barnhart - Resting in first game of twin bill Barnhart is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Twins.
Impact The Tigers are rolling out an all right-handed-hitting lineup to counter Twins southpaw Devin Smeltzer, so the switch-hitting Barnhart -- who does his best work against right-handed pitching -- will give way to Eric Haase behind the plate. Expect Barnhart to check back into the lineup as Detroit's catcher for Game 2.
