Jonathan Schoop - Returns to lineupSchoop (back) is starting Thursday's game against the Orioles, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
ImpactSchoop was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to back tightness, and he didn't appear off the bench in the win over Minnesota. However, he's feeling healthy enough to serve as the designated hitter and bat second in Thursday's series opener against Baltimore.

Ian Krol - Clears waiversThe Tigers outrighted Krol to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday after he cleared waivers.
ImpactKrol will remain in the organization after the Tigers dropped him from the 40-man roster earlier this week. The 30-year-old lefty reliever made five appearances for Detroit, working 4.2 innings and giving up two earned runs.

Willi Castro - Two runs, two RBI in winCastro went 2-for-4 with a triple, two runs and two RBI in Wednesday's 17-14 win over the Twins.
ImpactCastro delivered one of his best all-around box-score lines on the season, though it was overshadowed by several players on both sides coming through with big statistical performances. Even so, the solid day that the dish should help keep Castro locked into an everyday role at the keystone while the Tigers wait for Niko Goodrum (calf) to return from the injured list.

Brent Rooker - Slugs another homer in lossRooker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run Wednesday in the Twins' 17-14 loss to the Tigers.
ImpactThe home run was Rooker's third in four games and one of seven on the day for Minnesota. With a 1.271 OPS in six starts for Minnesota since his July 23 call-up, Rooker looks secure in an everyday role at either designated hitter or in the corner outfield.

Grayson Greiner - Reached base four timesGreiner went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, two runs and two RBI in Wednesday's 17-14 win over the Twins.
ImpactWith Eric Haase serving as the designated hitter in the series finale while Miguel Cabrera rested, Greiner cracked the lineup Wednesday and joined the Detroit hit parade. Even after reaching base four times on the day, Greiner's on-base average sits at an underwhelming .275 on the campaign.
