NIKO GOODRUM NEWS

Resting Wednesday Goodrum is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Goodrum gets a breather for the day game after he started at shortstop in each of the Tigers' last four contests. He went 1-for-15 over that stretch, and Goodrum is now slashing a lowly .118/.211/.176 in 12 games since returning from the injured list Sept. 1. Harold Castro checks in for Goodrum in the Detroit infield.

Sitting in series finale Goodrum is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Goodrum will cede shortstop duties to Harold Castro in the series finale after starting each of the Tigers' past three games at the position. Since returning from the injured list Sept. 1, Goodrum has struggled to establish a rhythm at the plate. In his first seven games back in action, Goodrum has gone 3-for-18 (.167 average) with a 3:4 BB:K.

Starts Wednesday in return from IL The Tigers reinstated Goodrum (groin) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. He'll start at shortstop and bat eighth in the TIgers' game against the Athletics.

Impact As anticipated, Goodrum will make his return to Detroit with the roster expanding from 26 to 28 men Wednesday. The 29-year-old was on the shelf for nearly three weeks with a strained left groin, but he looks to be in good shape after completing a five-game rehab assignment in the minors. Goodrum is expected to settle back in as Detroit's everyday shortstop, leaving Willi Castro and Harold Castro to compete for reps at second base.

Impact Goodrum began his rehab assignment at Low-A Lakeland on Wednesday and went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a run, a stolen base and a strikeout. The 29-year-old has spent just over three weeks on the injured list due to a left groin strain but hopes to rejoin the Tigers around Sept. 1.

Impact After missing approximately three weeks with a calf strain, Goodrum returned from the injured list Aug. 10, but he lasted just two days before getting shut down with another lower-body issue. Fortunately for Goodrum, the left groin strain looks to be a lesser concern than the prior injury, given that he's already closing in on a return to game action. The Tigers appear to be looking at Sept. 1 as a tentative target date for Goodrum's return from the IL.
