Spencer Torkelson - Drives in lone run Friday Torkelson went 1-for-2 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Guardians.

Impact For the second straight game, the Tigers scored just one run, and in both of those contests, Torkelson provided the offense. On Wednesday, he blasted a solo home run, while on Friday it was a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning. Despite Detroit's struggles overall, the rookie is starting to show some signs of life. Over his past six games, Torkelson is slashing .353/.368/.647 with a home run and three RBI. That looks a lot better than his .179/.290/.321 line overall.

Jacob Barnes - Charged with first loss Barnes (3-1) allowed four runs on four hits in an inning of work to take the loss Friday against the Guardians. He struck out two.

Impact Starter Tarik Skubal was hit by a comebacker at the end of the fifth inning and exited the game with a left leg contusion. The lefty hadn't allowed a run while he was in there, but Barnes immediately changed that. The righty allowed four straight hits to start the frame, with the final blow a three-run home run by Jose Ramirez. The poor outing raised Barnes' ERA from 1.93 to 4.20. That's more in line with his career 4.58 ERA, so Barnes was probably pitching a bit over his head to start the season.

Tarik Skubal - Diagnosed with contusion Skubal was diagnosed with a left leg contusion after exiting Friday's game against the Guardians, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Skubal was hit by a comebacker at the end of the fifth inning Friday and immediately went to the clubhouse with a trainer after limping off the field. He'll be reevaluated by the Tigers' medical staff Saturday but should tentatively be considered day-to-day. If he's cleared to make his next turn through the rotation, he projects to make his next start on the road against Minnesota on Wednesday.

Tarik Skubal - Exits with apparent leg injury Skubal was removed from Friday's game against Cleveland after taking a liner off his leg, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Skubal was able to limp off the field after being hit by a comebacker to end the fifth inning, but he went to the clubhouse with a trainer and was replaced in the bottom of the sixth. Prior to his departure, the southpaw allowed four hits and no walks while striking out five in five scoreless innings. The nature and severity of his injury aren't yet clear, and whether he's forced to miss time remains to be seen.

Impact Rodriguez left his start Wednesday against the Rays in the first inning with an injury which was originally called side discomfort. While he's apparently avoided a particularly serious injury, he'll still miss at least two turns in the rotation and won't be back until early June. With Matt Manning (shoulder), Casey Mize (elbow), Tyler Alexander (elbow) and Michael Pineda (finger) all on the shelf as well, the Tigers will have to dig deep into their depth options for at least the next couple weeks.

Matt Manning - Slated to make another rehab start Manning (shoulder/illness) will make another rehab start at Triple-A Toledo, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Manning was removed from Thursday's rehab start since he was experiencing lightheadedness, and manager A.J. Hinch said Friday that the right-hander's removal wasn't related to his arm. However, Manning will make another appearance in the minors after his last outing was cut short. While he'll miss another turn through the rotation, he should be in the mix to return in late May.

Will Vest - Tests positive for COVID-19 Vest was placed on the injured list Friday after he tested positive for COVID-19, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact It seemed likely that Vest was in the league's COVID-19 protocols after he was placed on the injured list without a designation Friday. Since he's tested positive for the virus he'll need to clear the league's protocols before he's eligible to rejoin the team.

Harold Castro - Returns to bench Castro is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Castro started at third base in the team's last game Wednesday, with Jeimer Candelario serving as the DH and Miguel Cabrera getting the day off. Cabrera is returning Friday, so Candelario shifts back to the hot corner and Castro will hit the bench. The latter is batting a robust .292, but he'll need more regular playing time to really make a significant fantasy impact.

MAY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Miguel Cabrera - Returns to lineup Friday Cabrera is starting as the designated hitter and batting third in Friday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Cabrera got the Tigers' last game off Wednesday, so the veteran ended up with two days of rest in between starts with the team not in action Thursday. Cabrera has a solid .286 batting average, but with Detroit sitting at just 13-25, the 39-year-old may see more regular breaks the rest of the season, especially on games that come before off days in the schedule.
