Colt Keith

DET Third Baseman #33

Colt Keith went 2-for-5 against the Royals on Sunday.

The rookie of the month in July, Keith stayed hot with two more hits on Sunday. He’s 31-for-100 (.310) with seven home runs and 17 RBI in his last 28 games. Keith is hitting .252 with a .704 OPS and 41 RBI on the season.
Casey Mize

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Casey Mize (hamstring) is expected to cleared to begin a rehab assignment Sunday.

Mize is not eligible to come off the 60-day injured list until September 1, but now the right-hander can begin the process of facing hitters and being ready to roll right around when he’s eligible. The former first-overall pick has had a mixed season at best, but he may be worth consideration as a streamer against weaker lineups.
Kerry Carpenter

DET Left Fielder #30

Kerry Carpenter (back) ran the bases before Sunday’s game against the Royals.

As Evan Woodbery of the MLive Media Group points out, running the bases is often the final step before beginning a rehab assignment. Carpenter has not played since the end of May due to a lumbar spine fracture. The outfielder will likely need a lengthy rehab assignment, but could be back with Detroit in mid-to-late August.
Brant Hurter

DET Starting Pitcher

Tigers selected the contract of LHP Brant Hurter.

Hurter is up to make his MLB debut against the Royals on Sunday, but it will be behind an opener; with the Tigers going with Alex Faedo in that role. Hurter still could qualify for a win, but asking him to do that against the Royals after registering a 5.80 ERA in Triple-A seems like a lot.
Sean Guenther

DET Relief Pitcher #73

Tigers optioned LHP Sean Guenther to Triple-A Toledo.

It’s the corresponding move to the Tigers selecting the contract of Brant Hurter. Guenther was just called up Thursday, and there’s a decent chance he could be back up before the season comes to an end; albeit in a role that doesn’t deserve fantasy consideration.
Bligh Madris

DET Right Fielder #40

Bligh Madris went 3-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored in the Tigers’ 6-5 win over the Royals on Saturday.

Madris knocked a base hit in the fourth inning, then doubled in the sixth before scoring on a single by Andy Ibáñez. Madris later came up in a big spot in the ninth, taking Hunter Harvey deep for a solo homer to bring the Tigers within a run before their comeback victory.
Tyler Holton

DET Relief Pitcher #87

Tyler Holton tossed three scoreless innings with three strikeouts in a no-decision against the Royals on Saturday.

Holton operated as the opener for the Tigers on Saturday. He kept Detroit off the board over three perfect frames on 31 pitches, striking out three batters. The 28-year-old left-hander now holds a 2.70 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and a 50/12 K/BB ratio across 63 1/3 innings.
Brant Hurter

DET Starting Pitcher

Brant Hurer is expected to work behind an opener in his big-league debut against the Royals on Sunday.

The 25-year-old left-hander has really struggled at Triple-A Toledo this season, registering a 5.80, 1.47 WHIP and a 70/23 K/BB ratio over 71 1/3 innings of work. Given the departure of Jack Flaherty, the injury to Casey Mize and the struggles of Kenta Maeda though, the Tigers simply don’t have any better options to turn to at the moment.
Parker Meadows

DET Center Fielder #22

Tigers activated OF Parker Meadows from the 10-day injured list.

Meadows will rejoin Detroit’s lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Royals following a nearly four-week absence due to a right hamstring strain. The 24-year-old outfielder showed some immense promise prior to getting hurt last month as a result of a swing adjustment that he made earlier this year at Triple-A Toledo. He’s poised to make a significant impact for fantasy managers as a power/speed threat if he’s truly managed to unlock something with his swing.
Ryan Kreidler

DET Shortstop #32

Tigers optioned INF Ryan Kreidler to Triple-A Toledo.

Kreidler heads back to the minors with Parker Meadows back from the injured list. The 26-year-old infielder batted .136 (6-for-44) with one homer and three steals in 21 games this season in his latest brief stint with Detroit.
