DETROIT TIGERS NEWS

Austin Meadows - Not in Friday's lineup Meadows is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Meadows started the past five games after missing three contests with a non-COVID-19 illness, and he'll take a seat after going 4-for-19 with a double, two walks and a run during that five-game stretch. Robbie Grossman will shift to right field in his absence while Willi Castro starts in left.

Sam Howard - Claimed by Tigers Howard was claimed off waivers by the Tigers on Friday.

Impact Howard made three relief appearances for the Pirates in April and allowed two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out one in two innings. The southpaw was designated for assignment last weekend but will report to Triple-A Toledo now that he's found a new organization.

Casey Mize - Struggles in rehab outing Mize (elbow) allowed three earned runs on four hits while striking out none across 0.2 innings Thursday in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Toledo.

Impact Mize showed significant rust, which isn't a particular surprise given that he's been sidelined since mid-April. Positively, there has been no word of a setback. However, Mize was pulled after only 29 pitches, so he will likely require at least one more rehab outing -- and potentially more -- before being activated from the injured list.

Tucker Barnhart - Doubles, drives in one Thursday Barnhart went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's loss to the Athletics.

Impact Barnhart isn't a flashy player, but he's now batting .284 this season, though he only has three RBI in 23 games. He's at least hitting better than Eric Haase, who's stuck with a .140 batting average. That should keep Barnhart in the lineup as the team's catcher most days.

Willi Castro - Keeps rolling Thursday Castro went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Athletics.

Impact Making his fourth consecutive start, Castro kept producing at the plate, as he's gone 7-for-15 during this stretch. He's not quite yet an everyday player, but the 25-year-old is getting an extended look, and he could continue to push Derek Hill for time in center field. Castro is now batting .325 on the season across 16 games.

Beau Brieske - Logs quality start Thursday Brieske allowed three runs (two earned) across six innings and did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Athletics. He walked three and struck out two.

Impact Brieske pitched reasonably well for the fourth straight time to begin his rookie campaign, though he has two losses and two no-decisions to show for it. The righty went exactly five innings in each of his previous three starts, so this was a new high-water mark for innings. Brieske has also allowed three earned runs or fewer in each of his four outings, which has propelled him to a solid 3.86 ERA for the season. The 24-year-old will look to keep it up and maybe earn his first MLB win in his next scheduled start Tuesday against the Rays.

Michael Fulmer - Takes second loss Fulmer (1-2) allowed two runs on a hit and a walk across an inning of work to take the loss Thursday against the Athletics. He struck out one.

Impact Fulmer allowed his first home run of the season in the eighth inning, a two-run blast by Seth Brown, which broke open a 3-3 tie. The righty still has a solid 2.70 ERA, but with the 9-23 Tigers struggling to score many runs, the margin for error is thin for all of the team's pitchers. Despite the hiccup, Fulmer should remain an important reliever in Detroit, typically working in front of closer Gregory Soto.

Bubby Derby - Lands on injured list Derby was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list for an unspecified reason Thursday, Emily Waldon of Baseball America reports.

Impact Derby made five relief appearances at Double-A Toledo to begin the season, and he posted a 6.35 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 5.2 innings. The nature and severity of his injury aren't yet known, and a timetable for his return hasn't been revealed.

Alex Faedo - Likely to be recalled Monday The Tigers are expected to recall Faedo from Triple-A Toledo to start Monday against the Rays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact After being designated as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader with the Athletics, Faedo was the obvious choice to move off the 26-man active roster after the twin bill was completed. Before heading back to the minors, however, Faedo delivered another promising five-inning effort, allowing just two runs and striking out seven in a loss. With all of Matt Manning (shoulder), Casey Mize (elbow) and Tyler Alexander (elbow) still on the injured list, Faedo should be on track to make a third straight turn through the big-league rotation. Detroit will need to place another player on an injured or inactive list by Monday in order to make room on the active roster for Faedo's return.

Ryan Kreidler - Progressing in recovery Kreidler (hand) has been participating in strengthening activities recently, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kreidler underwent surgery on his fractured right hand in late April, but he's been able to work on his recovery approximately two weeks after the procedure. The 24-year-old still has several steps to take before he's in consideration to return to game action, but he's progressing well so far.

Riley Greene - Set for examination Thursday Greene (foot) will be examined by doctors Thursday and will be cleared to resume baseball activities if all goes well, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Greene sustained a fractured right foot in early April but was able to shed his walking boot last week. Although the 21-year-old isn't expected to return to game action in May, his return to baseball activities would represent a significant step in his recovery. He'll likely require a rehab assignment once he's able to ramp up his workload, but he'll likely be in the mix to join the major-league club once he's deemed fully healthy.

Derek Hill - On bench for series finale Hill is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Hill will cede center-field duties to Willi Castro in the series finale. He had started five of the Tigers' past six games, going a collective 5-for-14 with a double, a walk and an RBI during that stretch.

MAY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Willi Castro - Gets fourth consecutive start Castro will start in center field and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Impact He'll stick in the lineup for the fourth game in a row, with all of Castro's starts coming in the outfield during that stretch. Though Castro hasn't yet established himself as an everyday player, manager A.J. Hinch will likely continue to keep the 25-year-old in the lineup while he's one of the few hitters on the roster swinging a hot bat at the moment. Over his last three starts, Castro has gone 5-for-11 with a walk and a run.

MAY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Javier Báez - Gets day off Baez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Impact According to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News, Baez's absence from the lineup is a scheduled off day for the 29-year-old. Since returning April 24 from a stint on the injured list due to a thumb issue, Baez started in each of the Tigers' last 17 games and slashed .200/.243/.300 over that stretch. Harold Castro fills in for Baez at shortstop in the series finale.

Jason Foley - Brought up from Toledo The Tigers recalled Foley from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

Impact He'll assume the 26-man active roster spot of Joey Wentz, who was optioned to Toledo following his first MLB start in Wednesday's 9-0 loss to the Athletics. Foley will give the Tigers a fresh arm in the bullpen for Thursday's series finale.
