Tigers Talk: Can Sunday's homer be what gets Javier Báez going? Other notes on A.J. Hinch, Tarik Skubal, Michael Fulmer, PitchCom and more.
Detroit Free Press Tarik Skubal's importance to the Detroit Tigers has been enhanced since he's now the best available option on the mound.

Detroit Free Press The early 1990s Detroit Tigers played a style that would be familiar today. From 1991-1993, they topped MLB in runs, homers, walks and strikeouts.

Javier Báez - Homers in win Sunday Baez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Guardians.
Impact Baez also struck out twice in the contest, and it's been a bit of a choppy first season in Detroit. The shortstop is batting just .207 with a .575 OPS and three home runs through 31 games. This was also Baez's first long ball since April 26, but he's been a streaky performer at times in the past, so a hot streak could be just around the corner with Sunday perhaps serving as the jumping off point.

Gregory Soto - Shuts door Sunday Soto pitched a clean ninth inning to record the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Guardians.
Impact The ninth inning started ominously, as Soto hit leadoff man Josh Naylor. However, the lefty retired the next batter, then got Andres Gimenez to ground into a double play to end the game. Soto has had a few hiccups this season, but he now has seven saves in eight chances to go with a solid 2.92 ERA. He's also pitched well lately with no runs allowed and three saves in his last three appearances. Manager A.J. Hinch has shown confidence in Soto despite some ups and downs, and fantasy managers should continue to do the same while he remains Detroit's closer.

Alex Faedo - Records first MLB win Faedo (1-1) allowed two runs on six hits across 5.1 innings to earn the win Sunday against the Guardians. He walked two and struck out two.
Impact Faedo had his Saturday start postponed due to inclement weather, so he had to wait an extra day before recording his first MLB win in his fourth career start. The righty has looked good in the early going, as he now has a 3.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 21 innings. He's not missing a ton of bats, however, with just 14 strikeouts. That gives Faedo a smaller margin of error, but he'll look to keep rolling in his next scheduled start Friday against this same Cleveland squad.

Tarik Skubal - On track to start Thursday Skubal (lower leg) has a bruise on his left shin but is scheduled to make his next turn through the rotation Thursday against the Guardians, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 25-year-old had Friday's start cut short after being struck by a line drive, but the injury appears to be a minor concern. Skubal still finished with five shutout innings and has a 21:5 K:BB and 0.83 WHIP over 18 scoreless frames in his past three outings. The lefty will still receive an extra day between starts to rest up, so he'll take on Cleveland at home rather than pitching Wednesday at Minnesota.

Austin Meadows - No timeline for return Manager A.J. Hinch said Sunday there's no update on Meadows' (vertigo) status and that the team is "very concerned with what's going on," Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 26-year-old landed on the injured list early last week after experiencing dizziness, light-headedness and nausea, and he continues to recover at his home in Florida. Meadows won't be activated when first eligible this week, and it's unclear when he may be able to rejoin the team.

Akil Baddoo - Out with oblique injury Baddoo is on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Toledo with an oblique strain, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 23-year-old hasn't seen game action with Toledo since May 13 and is unavailable due to the injury. It's unclear exactly how long Baddoo is expected to be sidelined.

Derek Hill - Resting Sunday Hill is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Hill started four of the past six games but he'll get Sunday off, with Daz Cameron getting the nod in center field and batting ninth. Hill should continue to start most days, at least while Austin Meadows (illness) and Victor Reyes (quadriceps) are on the injured list. Willi Castro and Robbie Grossman will start in the corners around Cameron on Sunday.
MAY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Daz Cameron - Starting Sunday Cameron is starting in center field and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Impact This will be Cameron's second appearance in a game since getting recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Monday. For the season, the 25-year-old has just one hit in eight at-bats, and he's nothing more than outfield depth at this point.

Elvin Rodriguez - Promoted, starting Monday Rodriguez was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday and is scheduled to start Monday against the Guardians.
Impact The 24-year-old made the Opening Day roster and pitched in one game for Detroit before being sent to Toledo, and he'll now rejoin the big-league club. Rodriguez has a 3.57 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 21:13 K:BB over 22.2 innings at Triple-A this year, and he'll now receive a look in the Tigers' starting rotation with the unit sustaining yet another injury. Eduardo Rodriguez (ribs) was placed on the 15-day IL in a corresponding move.
MAY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eduardo Rodriguez - Goes on IL The Tigers placed Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a left ribcage sprain.
Impact Shortly after Rodriguez was pulled from his start in Wednesday's loss to the Rays with left side discomfort, manager A.J. Hinch noted that the lefty would require a trip to the IL. The Tigers delayed making the move while awaiting the results of his MRI, which evidently revealed no oblique strain but instead an injury to his ribcage. Detroit has yet to reveal a timeline for Rodriguez's return as a result of the diagnosis, but he won't be eligible to come off the IL until early June regardless.
