Javier Báez - Leads offense Tuesday Baez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Twins.

Impact The Twins scored two in the ninth inning for a walkoff, 5-4 victory, but Baez did all he could to give the Tigers a win as he crushed a three-run home run in the eighth. The shortstop is now up to two home runs and eight RBI across only seven games, to go along with an outstanding .972 OPS. Baez has certainly hit the ground running with his new team.

Gregory Soto - Blows first save Soto (1-1) allowed two runs (none earned) on a hit, two walks and a wild pitch in Tuesday's loss to the Twins. He retired one batter via strikeout.

Impact Soto didn't help his cause with the walks or the wild pitch, but the game ended on a two-run throwing error by catcher Eric Haase, giving the Twins a wild 5-4 win and the lefty his first blown save of the year. Despite the setback, Soto has been pretty good this season with three saves in four chances to go with a 1.50 ERA. He should retain a decent hold on closing duties in Detroit, with righty Michael Fulmer also available for certain matchups.

Matt Manning - Still feeling tightness Manning (shoulder) hasn't been cleared to resume throwing since he's still experiencing tightness, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact The right-hander was reportedly scheduled to throw a bullpen session over the weekend, but that apparently didn't happen since the tightness remains an ongoing issue. Manning landed on the injured list April 20 with right shoulder inflammation and remains without a timeline for his return.

Casey Mize - Starts throwing program Mize (elbow) began a throwing program Monday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Mize has been sidelined nearly two weeks by a medial elbow sprain, and his return to throwing is a significant step in his recovery. The 24-year-old will need to build his arm back up after the brief shutdown, so he's unlikely to be back from the injured list for at least a couple weeks.

Jonathan Schoop - Drops to seventh in order Schoop will start at second base and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Impact Manager A.J. Hinch has elected to make big changes to the lineup for the series opener in Minnesota, as Jeimer Candelario and Schoop will both be dropped two spots in the order from the Nos. 4 and 5 positions, respectively. Schoop enters Tuesday with a three-game hitting streak, but he's still slashing a lowly .155/.210/.241 with five RBI and four runs over 15 games this season.

Akil Baddoo - Out of lineup Baddoo will sit Tuesday against the Twins.

Impact Baddoo hits the bench even with a righty (Chris Paddack) on the mound for the Twins. The second-year outfielder has struggled to get going this season, slashing .118/.189/.235 in 37 plate appearances, though a .125 BABIP likely accounts for at least some of his poor performance. Derek Hill will get the nod in center field.

Andrew Chafin - Activated from IL Chafin was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact The lefty reliever signed with the Tigers this offseason, but he suffered a groin injury during spring training, which has delayed his 2022 debut. Chafin is now ready to go and will look to build off of his career year from 2021, where he produced a 1.83 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over 68.2 innings with the Cubs and Athletics. He'll likely operate as a set-up man to Gregory Soto, pitching in high-leverage situations this season.

Parker Meadows - Bumped up to Double-A The Tigers promoted Meadows from High-A West Michigan to Double-A Erie on Monday, Emily Waldon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Meadows will move up a level less than a month into the 2022 season after turning in an .813 OPS while striking out at a 26.9 percent clip in 67 plate appearances at High-A. Expect the 2018 second-round draft pick to spend the bulk of the campaign in Erie.

Andrew Chafin - Looks good in Triple-A appearance Chafin made the second appearance of his minor-league rehab assignment Sunday with Triple-A Toledo, tossing a 1-2-3 inning and striking out two in the nine-pitch outing.

Impact On the heels of the sharp rehab appearance, Chafin looks as though he could be ready to return from the 10-day injured list when the Tigers return to action Tuesday in Minnesota. The Tigers foreshadowed Chafin's likely activation by optioning reliever Rony Garcia to Toledo after Sunday's loss to the Rockies, which opens up a spot on the 28-man roster.
