Triples, scores in loss Meadows went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Giants.

Impact Meadows scored Detroit's lone run of the game in the top of the fifth inning after hitting his one-out triple. The outfielder has now played in five contests since returning from a hamstring injury, and he's gone 10-for-22 with four extra-base hits, four runs scored and four RBI. If Meadows can sustain his recent level of performance, he'll make a big fantasy impact during the stretch run.

On bench against southpaw Meadows is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

Tallies two hits in loss Meadows went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Since returning from the injured list on Saturday, Meadows has rattled off four straight two-hit games, raising his season batting average from .131 to .186 in the process. That's still a rough figure overall, and the 24-year-old is striking out 33 percent of the time, but his recent stretch is showing glimpses of his immense potential. Fantasy managers who have shown patience with Meadows could be rewarded down the stretch.

Powers Tigers to victory Meadows went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

Impact Meadows plated the first run of the ballgame with a two-out single in the fourth and then extended the lead with a solo blast in the eighth. He now has multiple hits in both his starts since being activated off the IL with two of those hits being a triple and a home run. It's a very small sample size, but Meadows has looked much more comfortable at the dish since returning, though it's possible manager AJ Hinch eases him back into action with planned off days after missing about a month due to a strained hamstring. The 24-year-old is now slashing .161/.264/.455 with four homers, eight RBI, 13 runs, four steals and a 12:36 BB:K in 106 plate appearances.

On bench for finale Meadows is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact Meadows will retreat to the bench for the series finale after he came off the 10-day injured list and started in center field in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Kansas City. He played all 10 innings in the victory, going 2-for-5 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored. With Meadows reporting no setbacks with his hamstring coming out of Saturday's contest, he's most likely sitting Sunday in a pre-planned maintenance day coming off the injury. The youngster is still expected to be in store for regular starts in center field now that he's healthy again.

Tallies two hits in return Meadows (hamstring) went 2-for-5 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5, extra-innings win over the Royals.

Impact Meadows was seeing his first MLB game action since July 7 due to a strained right hamstring. He wasted no time getting back into the swing of things, including legging out his first triple of the season. Meadows should take over as Detroit's primary center fielder moving forward, though Matt Vierling and others may spell him some in the short term to keep his hamstring in good shape.

AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE

Activated off IL Meadows (hamstring) was activated off the injured list Saturday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Meadows has been out since early July due to a strained right hamstring. He made four rehab outings earlier this week, going 3-for-14 with one double, one RBI and two walks. Across his 35 major-league outings this season, Meadows is slashing .131/.247/.286 with four stolen bases, three home runs and five RBI in 97 plate appearances.

Likely to return this weekend Meadows (hamstring) is likely to be activated from the 10-day injured list at some point this weekend, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact The Tigers open a four-game series against the Royals at home on Thursday. Meadows has been out since early July with a strained right hamstring but has played three rehab games with Triple-A Toledo, including back-to-back contests on Tuesday and Wednesday. He's played the field in just one of those games, so perhaps the Tigers would like him to get a little more work in defensively before activating him, but his return does appear to be imminent. When he is activated, Meadows will resume his role as Detroit's regular center fielder.

AUGUST 1 • ROTOWIRE

Making rehab start Sunday Meadows (hamstring) will begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Sunday will be Meadow's first rehab outing since landing on the 10-day injured list July 8 due to a right hamstring strain. He'll serve as the designated hitter and then play center field after Toledo's day off Monday, per Jason Beck of MLB.com.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Rehab games coming soon Meadows (hamstring) is expected to begin a rehab assignment soon, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Meadows was cleared to run the bases Wednesday and came out of it well, so he will continue his progression with more running Saturday. It's possible he'll be ready to play in rehab games after that. Meadows has been shelved for most of July with a right hamstring strain but could be tracking toward a return in early August.

Running bases Wednesday Meadows (hamstring) will run the bases Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact It's a big step for Meadows as he works his way back from a right hamstring strain, an injury he suffered just over two weeks ago. If things go well, he should be ready for a rehab assignment soon, with a return by early August feasible.

JULY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on IL with strained hamstring The Tigers placed Meadows on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right hamstring strain.

Impact The timing is a bummer, as Meadows had just been recalled from Triple-A Toledo and gone 4-for-11 with one home run and one stolen base in three games since rejoining the big club. He will be eligible for activation at the start of the second half, but it's too soon to know whether he'll have a shot to be back at that time.

Impact Meadows was likely to be a significant free agent target this weekend, but this news certainly will chill pending bids, especially in leagues where there are no IL slots.

Managing hamstring issue Meadows was removed from Sunday's win against the Reds due to a right hamstring injury, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Meadows went 1-for-3 with walk and an RBI but exited the contest after he suffered the injury while being thrown out on an attempted steal of second base. The 24-year-old has started the past three games in center field after being recalled by the Tigers on Friday.

JULY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Collects two more hits Saturday Meadows went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Reds. He was also caught stealing.

Impact In two games since getting recalled from Triple-A Toledo, Meadows has gone 3-for-8 with a double and a home run. It's a very small sample of course, but it's still a positive sign for the 24-year-old, who struggled mightily before getting sent down in May. Meadows was seeing some time atop the order earlier in the year, though he batted eighth Saturday and will likely need to string together a few more good games before he possibly moves up in the lineup.

JULY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Returns with home run Meadows went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

Impact Making his first MLB appearance since May 6, Meadows promptly blasted his third home run of the season. The 24-year-old scuffled in his first stint with the Tigers this year, batting just .096 across 32 games before getting demoted. The team is hoping his time in the minors corrected some issues, and Meadows should get plenty of opportunities in center field moving forward, particularly due to his strong defense. If he can get his bat going as well, Meadows may be able to develop some fantasy value down the stretch.
