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.

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.
MAY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
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.

Joey Wentz - Sent down after MLB debut Wentz (0-1) was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following Wednesday's 9-0 defeat versus the A's, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. He took the loss after giving up six runs on...
Impact The 24-year-old was called up for his big-league debut Wednesday but laid an egg against Oakland, as he retired only eight of the 16 batters he faced. Wentz will return to Toledo, where he has a 4.12 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB across 19.2 innings this season.

Miguel Cabrera - Records three hits, little else Cabrera went 3-for-4 in Wednesday's 9-0 loss to the Athletics.
Impact Five Detroit players went hitless, and the team as a whole only recorded seven hits, so Cabrera couldn't produce any offense with his three base knocks. The veteran is batting a respectable .268, though he only has four extra-base hits this season, which caps his fantasy value.
