Tigers' Bligh Madris: Productive again Friday
Madris went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 9-3 loss to the Twins.
A day after collecting three hits, Madris had two more and recorded his first RBI of the season. The 28-year-old is likely still a depth option for the Tigers at best, though he could carve out a more regular role in the short term if he continues to produce at the plate.

Tigers' Javier Baez: Homers in consecutive games
Baez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-3 loss to the Twins.
Baez took Pablo Lopez deep in the third inning after providing all the Tigers offense in Thursday's win with a three-run blast. Baez has now homered in back-to-back games for the first time since 2023. Prior to these two homers, Baez had not gone deep since April 14 in what has been a rough year for him. The 31-year-old is hitting .179 with three homers and a .474 OPS through 65 games this season.

Tigers' Keider Montero: Gives up three homers in loss
Montero (1-4) took the loss Friday vs the Twins, giving up six runs (five earned) on eight hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out five.
Montero gave up home runs to three of the first seven batters he faced in Friday's loss to the Twins. He still managed to get through five innings, but Montero has now given up multiple home runs in three of his six career starts. The rookie right-hander has struggled as of late, allowing five runs in three consecutive starts and seeing his ERA go from 4.64 to 6.38.

Tigers' Parker Meadows: Rehab games coming soon
Meadows (hamstring) is expected to begin a rehab assignment soon, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Meadows was cleared to run the bases Wednesday and didn't have any issues, 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.

Tigers' Casey Mize: Slated for bullpen session
Mize (hamstring) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
It will be his first time on a mound since he went down with a left hamstring strain in late June. Mize will need time to get built back up and is likely several weeks away from a return.

Tigers' Riley Greene: Hits injured list
Greene was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right hamstring strain.
Greene uncharacteristically was held out of the lineup Friday, and the team has now provided an explanation for why. Per Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic the strain is considered minor, which could indicate that Greene won't miss much more time than the minimum 10 days. In the meantime, Mark Canha, Bligh Madris and Ryan Vilade could see more action in the outfield.

Tigers' Riley Greene: Absent from starting nine Friday
Greene is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.
Greene isn't part of the starting lineup for the third time in seven games despite right-hander Pablo Lopez being on the mound for Minnesota. As an everyday player for Detroit, Greene's string of absences is unusual, but as yet no explanation has been offered by the team. Mark Canha, Matt Vierling and Wenceel Perez will fill the outfield from left to right Friday.

Tigers' Ryan Vilade: Recalled from Triple-A
The Tigers recalled Vilade from Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Vilade could get some starts in the outfield against lefties with Riley Greene (hamstring) joining Parker Meadows (hamstring) on the injured list. He's 8-for-27 with a homer during his brief time in the majors this season.

Tigers' Gio Urshela: Sitting again
Urshela is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.
Urshela is absent from the Tigers' starting nine for a second consecutive game, yielding to Bligh Madris at first base. Urshela went hitless in seven at-bats during the Tigers' recent four-game series with the Guardians.

Tigers' Tyler Holton: Opens with two scoreless frames
Holton worked as Detroit's opener against Cleveland on Thursday and allowed two hits while striking out two batters over two scoreless innings.
Holton served as the Tigers' opener for the third time this season and was effective in his two innings of work, giving up a pair of doubles but keeping the Guardians off the scoreboard. The southpaw extended his streak of scoreless outings to 12, and he's posted a 13:3 K:BB over 16 innings while notching two saves and two holds during that span. Overall, Holton has registered a 2.97 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 46:12 K:BB across 57.2 frames on the campaign.

Tigers' Shelby Miller: Notches second save
Miller worked around a walk to pitch a scoreless ninth inning and earn the save in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Guardians. He struck out one.
Regular closer Jason Foley was used in the seventh inning of this bullpen game for Detroit, which set Miller up for his second save of the season. The veteran righty endured a rough patch in June but has been much better this month, posting a 0.84 ERA across 10.2 innings. Foley is still the favorite for saves in Detroit, though Miller gives the Tigers another option when needed.

Tigers' Easton Lucas: Earns first MLB win
Lucas (1-0) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Thursday against the Guardians. He struck out two.
Tyler Holton started the bullpen game for Detroit, with Lucas next up. The 27-year-old had allowed seven earned runs over his first four innings this season with the Athletics and Tigers, but he looked sharper in this one to earn his first MLB win. Lucas is still likely only going to serve as a low-leverage middle reliever in Detroit, so while the occasional win out of the bullpen is nice, he will be hard pressed to maintain much fantasy value.

Tigers' Bligh Madris: Tallies first hits of 2024
Madris went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Guardians.
Madris was just recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, and after going hitless in his first six at-bats with the Tigers, he broke out Thursday. The 28-year-old appeared in 51 total games over the previous two seasons with the Pirates and Astros, offering little fantasy production in the process. He is unlikely to be much more than a depth option for Detroit.

Tigers' Javier Baez: Hits key home run Thursday
Baez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Guardians.
Baez's second-inning blast against Cleveland starter Gavin Williams provided all the offense in the game for both teams. It was just the second long ball of the season for the shortstop, who has been scuffling mightily with a .177 average and .460 OPS. As further evidence of his current status, Baez batted ninth for the Tigers. It's not what you'd expect from a $140 million player, and Baez doesn't warrant fantasy attention until he can display a sustained level of positive performance, which doesn't seem likely this year.

Tigers' Gio Urshela: Moving to bench Thursday
Urshela is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.
Urshela will head to the bench for the first time since July 13, ending his streak of seven consecutive starts. Bligh Madris will step in for Urshela at first base.

Tigers' Mark Canha: Moving to bench Thursday
Canha is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.
Canha will cede his spot in the lineup to Zach McKinstry, who gets the nod at third base while Matt Vierling shifts to the outfield. After going 0-for-22 over a six-game stretch from June 25 through July 2, Canha has bounced back over the ensuing three weeks, slashing .306/.390/.500 over 11 games. As a veteran on an expiring contract, Canha could be a prime candidate to get moved elsewhere ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline while the 50-53 Tigers likely find themselves in the sellers camp.
