Impact Richan opened the season on Double-A Erie's 7-day injured list and eventually expected to settle into the affiliate's rotation once he's fully built up for a starting role during his rehab assignment at Lakeland.

Paul Richan - Rehabbing at Single-A Richan (undisclosed) began a rehab assignment at Single-A Lakeland on May 1 and has struck out four over three scoreless innings between his two appearances.
Alex Faedo - Likely to pick up start Tuesday Faedo, who was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, is expected to be recalled from Toledo to start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Athletics in Detroit,...
Impact The Tigers plan to designated Faedo as their 27th man for the twin bill, just as they did for their doubleheader last Wednesday against the Pirates. Faedo made his MLB debut in the second game that day versus Pittsburgh, taking a no-decision after working five innings and giving up two runs on eight hits and a walk. Assuming he gets another starting nod against Oakland, Faedo will likely be sent back to Toledo immediately after the outing.

Matt Manning - Dazzles in first rehab outing Manning (shoulder) tossed three scoreless innings Sunday in his first rehab start at Triple-A Toledo. He struck out four and allowed one hit and issued no walks in the 36-pitch out...
Impact The outing marked Manning's first at any level since he exited his second start of the season with the Tigers on April 16 with right shoulder tightness. Though Manning was about as impressive as possible in the rehab outing and efficiently retired nine of the 10 hitters he faced, he's expected to make one or two more rehab starts before slotting back into the Detroit rotation, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press.

Eric Haase - Starting Sunday Haase is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Astros.
Impact Tucker Barnhart will get the Sunday afternoon game off after starting Saturday night's contest. Haase has not been able to recapture last season's magic, as he's slashing just .140/.229/.233 across 43 at-bats. That should keep Barnhart in the lineup most days, and Haase doesn't figure to have a ton of fantasy value unless he gets going at the plate and can earn more playing time.

Tucker Barnhart - Day off Sunday Barnhart is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Impact Barnhart started Saturday and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, though he still has a respectable .259 batting average for the season. He'll get Sunday's series finale off, with Eric Haase taking over catching duties.

Derek Hill - Leading off Sunday Hill is starting in center field and batting first in Sunday's game against the Astros.
Impact With Austin Meadows (illness) out for the third straight game, the Tigers will use Hill in center with Akil Baddoo taking Meadows' normal spot in left. Hill and Baddoo should split time in center when Meadows returns, with Hill the preferred option against southpaws. Baddoo has been struggling at the plate, however, so Hill could continue to see his role grow as the season progresses.

Austin Meadows - Out again Sunday Meadows (illness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Impact Meadows was originally scratched from Friday's lineup with a non-COVID-19-related illness and he'll now end up missing the final three contests of the four-game series. The Tigers return home for a game Monday against the Athletics, and perhaps the extra day of rest will be enough for Meadows to get healthy and return to action. According to Evan Woodbery of MLive.com, manager A.J. Hinch said Meadows could be available off the bench Sunday in a pinch-hitting capacity, though the Tigers would presumably prefer to stay away from him.
MAY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Akil Baddoo - Back in lineup Sunday Baddoo is starting in left field and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Astros.
Impact Baddoo was out of the lineup Saturday, but he'll return Sunday for his third start in the last four games. Derek Hill is also starting Sunday, getting center field and the leadoff spot, with Austin Meadows (illness) out for the third straight day. Baddoo and Hill will continue to split time in center most days, with Baddoo typically out of the lineup against southpaws.

Eduardo Rodriguez - Strong showing against Astros Rodriguez allowed one earned run on one hit and three walks while striking out eight across 6.2 innings Saturday against the Astros. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Rodriguez carried a 5.33 ERA into Saturday's start, but he delivered his best performance as a Tiger. He limited the Astros to only a solo home run while also racking up a season-best eight strikeouts. Rodriguez did continue to struggle with his command, and he has walked multiple batters in four of his six appearances this season. While this outing was a step forward, Rodriguez still owns a 4.50 ERA across 32 frames on the season.

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.

Matt Manning - Rehab assignment begins Sunday Manning (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
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.
