MICHAEL PINEDA NEWS

Takes loss in Game 1 Pineda (2-4) allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits across 5.1 innings to take the loss in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Royals. He had no walks and two strike...

Impact Pineda pitched reasonably well but got very little offensive support in the 3-1 loss. The veteran righty isn't missing many bats, with just 19 strikeouts across 37.2 innings this season, though he does have a strong 3.58 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. Pineda isn't the most exciting fantasy option, particularly with a subpar Detroit lineup behind him, but he can still be useful in certain spots. He's lined up to start again Saturday against the Guardians.

Earns second win Pineda (2-3) allowed two runs on five hits across five innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Guardians. He walked two and struck out two.

Impact Pineda earned a win in his Detroit debut back on April 21, but this was his first victory since then. The veteran recently missed about six weeks with a fractured right middle finger, and he's now allowed five runs across 10 innings in two starts since returning from the injured list. Pineda will carry a solid 3.62 ERA into his next scheduled outing Monday against the Royals in one game of a doubleheader.

Takes loss in return Pineda (1-3) allowed three runs on seven hits over five innings Friday, striking out three and taking the loss against Kansas City.

Impact Pineda gave up one run through three innings before Vinnie Pasquantino and Hunter Dozier tagged him with back-to-back homers in the fourth. It was his first start since May 14 after a stint on the injured list with a fractured finger. The 33-year-old righty now owns a 3.62 ERA with a 15:4 K:BB through 27.1 frames. Pineda is lined up to face Cleveland at home next week.

Activated, starting Friday Pineda (finger) was activated from the 15-day injured list and will start Friday against the Royals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact As expected, Pineda is back to oppose Brad Keller after missing more than six weeks with a fractured right middle finger. Alex Faedo was optioned in a corresponding move. Pineda built up to 3.2 innings in his second and final rehab start for Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

On track to pitch Friday Pineda (finger) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Friday against the Royals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Pineda made his second rehab start with Triple-A Toledo on Sunday and allowed two runs over 3.2 innings, and he's poised to make his next start in the majors. The veteran right-hander is likely to face some workload limitations in his first start back from the fractured middle finger on his right hand.

Covers 3.1 innings in rehab start Pineda (finger) struck out two over 3.1 innings in his rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Toledo, allowing an earned run on four hits and one walk.

Impact The right-hander was pulled after throwing 46 pitches (31 strikes), so he'll likely need at least one more rehab outing on the farm to build up to a traditional starter's workload before the Tigers are comfortable bringing him back from the 15-day injured list. Due to a favorable upcoming schedule that includes a pair of off days next week, the Tigers should be able to get by with a four-man rotation until Pineda is potentially ready to return from the IL for next weekend's series versus the Royals.

Slated for rehab start Tuesday Pineda (finger) will make a rehab start at Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Pineda is slated to face live hitters at some point this weekend, and he'll return to game action with the Triple-A club early next week. The right-hander has been out since mid-May due to a fractured right middle finger, so it's possible that he'll need several rehab appearances prior to rejoining the Tigers. However, Pineda seems to be on track to return sometime in early July.

Could make rehab start next week Pineda (finger) is scheduled to face hitters in live batting practice at some point this weekend, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Assuming Pineda's fractured right middle finger causes no complications during the upcoming throwing session, he could receive the green light to begin a minor-league rehab assignment as soon as next week. Since Pineda has been sidelined since mid-May with the finger injury, he may need two rehab outings before he's ready to slot back into the Detroit rotation. His eventual return will be a welcome development for a Tigers squad that currently has three starting pitchers residing on the injured list and another (Eduardo Rodriguez) on the restricted list and without a clear timeline to rejoin the big club.

Throws bullpen session Pineda (finger) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pineda has been out with a broken finger since mid-May after getting hit by a comebacker. He was limited to mostly fastballs and changeups Tuesday and still has plenty of steps to complete before being cleared to return to the active roster, but he's at least trending in the right direction.

Likely to avoid multi-month absence Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Pineda isn't expected to require surgery for his fractured right middle finger, but the 33-year-old is still expected to be sidelined fo...

Impact Pineda landed on the 15-day injured list Sunday and is expected to be re-evaluated in a couple weeks. Although Pineda is in line to miss at least a month, Hinch is optimistic that the right-hander's absence won't last multiple months. With Matt Manning (shoulder) and Casey Mize (elbow) still on the shelf, the Tigers are thin on starting depth, even after bringing up Alex Faedo from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Officially lands on IL Pineda was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right middle finger fracture.

Impact This was inevitable after Pineda was hit by a comebacker Saturday, suffering the broken finger. He has a 3.22 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 22.1 innings. Alex Faedo will be recalled to join the rotation Monday.

Suffers broken finger Pineda has a broken middle finger on his right hand and will head to the injured list, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Pineda exited in the second inning of his start Saturday against the Orioles after being hit in the hand by a comebacker. Initial reports indicated that he'd escaped with merely a bruise, but it turns out that he's dealing with a more serious injury. He'll be out long enough to require a trip to the injured list, but that's all the clarity that's emerged thus far.
