Casey Mize - Nearing rehab assignment Mize (elbow) is nearing a rehab assignment, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Mize made just two starts this season before being sidelined with a sprained right elbow. He's been throwing again for nearly two weeks, and while he doesn't have a concrete date for the start of his rehab assignment, it's expected to begin not long after Matt Manning's (shoulder), which will start Sunday.

Impact Manning has been on the injured list since mid-April, but he's been cleared to return to game action with the minor-league club. He recently threw multiple bullpen sessions of over 30 pitches, but it's not yet clear how many rehab appearances he'll require prior to rejoining the Tigers.

He's now tossed exactly five innings in each of his first three career MLB starts. The 24-year-old rookie saw his ERA climb to 4.20 with a 9:7 K:BB. Brieske is currently in line to face the Athletics at home next week.

Austin Meadows - Scratched from Friday's lineup Meadows was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Astros due to a non-COVID illness, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Meadows was initially slated to start in right field and bat third Friday, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench as he deals with an illness. Robbie Grossman will shift to right field while Willi Castro enters the lineup in left. Meadows should tentatively be considered day-to-day following Friday's scratch.

Spencer Torkelson - Resting Friday Torkelson is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

Impact Torkelson sits for just the third time this season. He's in a bit of a slump, going 1-for-23 at the plate across his last seven games. Harold Castro will be the first baseman Friday.

Akil Baddoo - Starting again Friday Baddoo is starting in center field and batting ninth Friday against the Astros, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact The 23-year-old appeared to lose his hold on the large-side platoon role in center field earlier this week, but he's now making his fourth start in the past five games. Baddoo has showed some life offensively over the past three games, going 3-for-8 with two walks, a run and a stolen base.

Tarik Skubal - Looks good in no-decision Thursday Skubal allowed just two runs on six hits across six innings but did not factor in the decision in Thursday's loss to the Astros. He didn't walk anyone and struck out nine.

Impact A pair of solo home runs provided all the Houston offense against Skubal, as the lefty otherwise stymied a tough lineup. However, he got zero run support while he was in the game and would have taken his third loss of the season if not for a Jeimer Candelario two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning. Skubal probably deserves more than one win with his 3.04 ERA and 29:3 K:BB across 26.2 innings, but the Detroit offense has been stagnant this year. He'll look to keep pitching well in his next scheduled start Tuesday against the Athletics.

Miguel Cabrera - Records three hits Thursday Cabrera went 3-for-4 in Thursday's loss to the Astros.

Impact The three hits are nice, and Cabrera is batting a solid .284 this season, though he's not producing a ton of extra-base hits or counting stats. The veteran had three singles Thursday, giving him 18 for the season versus only two doubles and a single home run. As a result, Cabrera has just seven runs and seven RBI across 21 games. It's good that he's healthy and making regular contact, but the 39-year-old isn't doing much else for fantasy managers.
