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.

Detroit Tigers rally to tie Houston Astros in ninth, but fall, 3-2, on walk-off single Jeimer Candelario tied the game for the Detroit Tigers in the ninth inning, but Gregory Soto couldn't get an out in a 3-2 loss to Houston.

Jeimer Candelario - Hits key home run Candelario went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to the Astros.
Impact Candelario delivered a huge hit in the top of the ninth inning, when his home run against Ryan Pressly with two outs and a runner on tied the game at 2-2. However, the Astros rallied for the win in the bottom of the frame. Candelario is starting to get going, as the third baseman is riding a five-game hitting streak. He's gone 8-for-18 in that span with two home runs, three RBI and six runs scored.

Tucker's RBI in 9th lifts Astros to 3-2 win over Tigers
Jose Altuve and rookie Jeremy Peña hit solo homers and Kyle Tucker’s RBI single in the ninth inning lifted the Houston Astros to a 3-2 win over the Detroit TigersMAY 6, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Gregory Soto - Takes second loss Soto (1-2) allowed a run on two hits and a walk without recording an out to take the loss Thursday against the Astros.
Impact Coming into the bottom of the ninth inning with the game tied 2-2, Soto promptly allowed a hit to Yordan Alvarez. He then walked Yuli Gurriel before serving up a walkoff single to Kyle Tucker. Those are three tough hitters, but it's still a disappointing showing for Soto, who saw his ERA climb from 1.13 to 2.25 in the process. The lefty should remain the closer in Detroit, though fantasy managers may have to endure some ups and downs.
