DETROIT TIGERS NEWS

Miguel Cabrera - Starting after two-game absence Cabrera (back) will start at designated hitter and bat third for the Tigers in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Twins.

Impact He rejoins the lineup after sitting out Detroit's previous two games with lower-back tightness. Though his inclusion in the starting nine suggests that his back is no longer much of a concern, the 39-year-old could be a candidate to sit in the second game of the twin bill as the Tigers aim to keep him fresh.

Beau Brieske - Records no-decision Monday Brieske allowed four runs on six hits across 5.2 innings and did not factor into the decision in Monday's win over the Twins. He walked two and struck out four.

Impact Brieske is still searching for his first MLB win, as he's now 0-4 with three no-decisions across his first seven starts. The righty was done in by home runs, as he served up three long balls that accounted for all the runs against him. It was the fourth time he's allowed multiple homers in a start, which is a trend Brieske will need to stop if he hopes to lower his 5.25 ERA. The rookie will again seek his first career win in his next scheduled start, which is slated to be a tough matchup with the Yankees on the road Saturday.

Jonathan Schoop - Doubles, triples in win Schoop went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple and a run scored in Monday's win over the Twins.

Impact Schoop is still batting just .185 this season even after the three-hit effort, but he's played better lately. The veteran infielder is batting .303 across his past eight games with a home run, two RBI and six runs scored. Schoop is a career .258 hitter, so he figures to keep trending upward after a slow start to the year.

Derek Hill - Hits first 2022 home run Hill went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Twins.

Impact Hill's first home run of the season tied the game at 1-1 in the third inning. The outfielder then walked and scored the Tigers' final run of the contest in the eighth. With Austin Meadows (vertigo) and Robbie Grossman (neck) both currently on the injured list, Hill should continue to see regular playing time in the short term.

Spencer Torkelson - Tallies three hits Monday Torkelson went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Twins.

Impact Torkelson had been hitless across his past three games, but he snapped out of the funk in a big way Monday. The three-hit effort was the first of the 22-year-old's MLB career, and it was just the seventh multi-hit performance of his rookie season through 42 games. It's mostly been a struggle for Torkelson, who's batting just .194 overall, but the talent is there for a breakout to come at any point.

Gregory Soto - Records another save Monday Soto worked around a hit to pitch a scoreless ninth inning and earn the save in Monday's win over the Twins. He struck out one.

Impact Soto recorded his second save in as many days, giving him nine for the season in 10 chances. After a few rough outings earlier this month, the lefty has now tallied eight straight scoreless appearances, which has lowered his ERA to 2.16. Detroit is just 18-29, so Soto may not see a ton of save opportunities moving forward, but he should still have plenty of fantasy value due to his role and recent performance.

Will Vest - Begins rehab assignment Vest (illness) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Impact Vest has been out for 10 days after testing positive for COVID-19. Given the relatively short length of his absence, he may not need more than a single rehab appearance before returning to the active roster.

Casey Mize - Begins throwing again Mize (elbow) began playing catch Monday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mize made just two starts this season before hitting the injured list with a sprained right elbow. He resumed throwing in late April and advanced to a rehab assignment by mid-May, but his first rehab outing went poorly enough that the Tigers elected to pause his rehab program for over two weeks. He's trending in the right direction again but is still several steps from returning to the active roster.

Riley Greene - Active at Triple-A Greene (foot) was activated off the injured list for Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Impact Greene won't technically be on a rehab assignment, though the Tigers may want to see more than a handful of games from him at the Triple-A level before he's considered for a promotion. He was on track to make the Opening Day roster before breaking his foot in early April, and he's only been back for a pair of rehab games for Single-A Lakeland thus far. There will be plenty of at-bats available for him at the big-league level whenever the Tigers deem him fully healthy, as Detroit has gotten very little from any of its outfielders not named Austin Meadows so far this year.

Austin Meadows - Gearing up for rehab assignment Meadows (illness) is expected to start his rehab assignment in the coming days, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Meadows has been away from the team since May 16 while dealing with vertigo, but manager A.J. Hinch believes that he could start a rehab assignment as soon as Wednesday. Prior to heading to the 10-day injured list, the outfielder had produced a .267 average with 11 RBI and nine runs over 101 at-bats, but he has yet to hit a homer this season. The lack of power could have been a result of the vertigo and once healthy, Meadows will look to go deep for the first time in 2022.

Riley Greene - Shifting rehab to Triple-A Greene (foot) had his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Greene is now one step closer to returning from his right foot fracture, facing Triple-A pitching before ultimately being activated from the injured list. It's not clear yet if the Tigers intend to promote him to the major leagues once healthy or if he'll remain at Triple-A.

Kody Clemens - Called up Monday Clemens was called up from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Clemens will join the Tigers ahead of their five-game series versus the Twins, setting him up to make his major-league debut in the coming days. Over 184 at-bats in Triple-A this season, he's produced a .283 average with eight homers, 31 RBI, 27 runs and three stolen bases. Clemens will take the spot of Robbie Grossman (neck), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.
