Willi Castro - Managing jammed wristCastro was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Guardians due to a wrist injury, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

ImpactThe 25-year-old was originally started to start Tuesday, but he was scratched from the starting nine since he jammed his wrist on a slide Monday and is still bothered by the injury. Castro should be considered day-to-day while Akil Baddoo starts in left field.

Nolan Jones - Losing playing timeJones is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

ImpactThe lefty-hitting Jones is riding pine for the third time in four games, will each absence coming when the Guardians have opposed a right-handed starting pitcher. With Jones getting on base at a .185 clip and striking out in 44.4 percent of his plate appearances in August, the playoff-hopeful Guardians seem inclined to rotate players at the designated-hitter spot rather than leaning on the slumping rookie as their primary option.

Josh Naylor - Not starting TuesdayNaylor (ankle) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

ImpactThe lefty-hitting Naylor finds himself on the bench against a right-hander (Garrett Hill) after hurting his right ankle in the second game of Monday's doubleheader. Owen Miller will spell Naylor at first base.

Akil Baddoo - Playing time trending upBaddoo will start in left field and bat ninth in Tuesday's game in Cleveland, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

ImpactThough he was a late addition to the starting nine after Willi Castro was scratched with an apparent injury, Baddoo had already been earning more playing time when Castro was ostensibly healthy over the past week and a half. Baddoo will be making his ninth start in 10 games Tuesday, with his lone absence coming Monday in the second half of a doubleheader. Baddoo went 6-for-22 with two walks, two runs and a stolen base over his eight consecutive starts.

Victor Reyes - Finds home in No. 2 spotReyes will start in right field and bat second in Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

ImpactHe'll bat out of the two hole for the fifth consecutive contest after going 3-for-5 with two RBI in a 7-5 win Monday in the second game of a doubleheader with Cleveland. Though Austin Meadows (Achilles) could soon return from the 10-day injured list, Reyes appears likelier than Willi Castro (undisclosed) or Akil Baddoo to stick as a regular starter in the corner outfield.

Tucker Barnhart - Starts again after big gameBarnhart will start at catcher and bat eighth in Tuesday's game in Cleveland, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

ImpactBarnhart will be rewarded with a second straight start after going 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run in Monday's 7-5 win over the Guardians in the second game of a doubleheader. He had already seemed to push his way back into a timeshare at catcher with Eric Haase, and Barnhart's superior defense should continue to earn him a fair amount of playing time even if his bat cools off from here.

Willi Castro - Pulled from Tuesday's lineupCastro was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians due to an unspecified issue, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

ImpactTigers manager A.J. Hinch will likely provide an explanation for Castro's removal before or after the game, but Castro is most likely dealing with an injury or illness. Akil Baddoo will pick up the start in left field in Castro's stead.
