Yankees Set Tigers Pitching ProbablesThe New York Yankees return home after sweeping the Houston Astros and will start a homestand against the Detroit Tigers.
Alex Faedo - Starting on TuesdayFaedo will start for the Tigers on Tuesday against the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
ImpactWe're less than a week removed from the Tigers saying Faedo would be used in a multi-inning relief role for a while, but they've evidently already reversed course. Faedo has put up a 4.89 ERA over 12 appearances (11 starts) for Detroit this season. With Faedo getting the start, it could be Joey Wentz shifting to relief.

Luis Robert Jr. - Aiming for Wednesday returnWhite Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Monday that the team is "shooting for maybe Wednesday" for Robert's (quad) return to the lineup, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times rep...
ImpactRobert will miss a third straight start Monday with a right quad cramp and is not expected to play Tuesday's either. "We're shooting for maybe Wednesday," Grifol said. "Which would be perfect because Thursday's off and we can go back to his normal schedule Friday. The most important thing is he's way better." It wouldn't be a surprise if Robert is ultimately held out through Wednesday, giving him an extra two days when combined with Thursday's off day. It does appear he'll avoid the injured list, but it might be difficult for fantasy managers to start him this week.

Seby Zavala - Designated for assignmentZavala (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list and designated for assignment Monday.
ImpactThe move comes as a bit of a surprise, as Zavala had been seeing the bulk of the starts at catcher prior to straining his oblique in early August. However, the White Sox are prepared to go with Korey Lee and Yasmani Grandal as their catching duo down the stretch. Zavala has a career .613 OPS over parts of four big-league seasons, but with so many teams looking for catching depth it's possible he gets claimed on waivers.

Luis Robert Jr. - Held out of lineup again MondayRobert (quad) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Royals.
ImpactRobert will miss a third straight start due to a right quad cramp. If you're looking for a silver lining, the White Sox made a few roster moves Monday and Robert remains on the active roster, which provides hope that he could be ready to play any day now. Trayce Thompson is in center field Monday.
