  • Clutch hit in season debut
    Cameron went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Cameron's blast was the reason the game went to extras, as he tied it at 4-4 in the bottom of the ninth inning. The outfielder earned a promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas by slashing .299/.418/.569 over 41 contests, and it appears he'll compete for playing time in the corner outfield initially. Cameron last played in the majors in 2022, seeing action in 21 games for the Tigers. His speed is likely to be more prominent than his power, though he'll need to show he can hit major-league pitching at all to get regular reps. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:06 pm
     
  • Registers steal
    Happ went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 3-0 loss to Atlanta.

    Advice: Happ is batting just .221 (15-for-68) in May, but he's also recorded both of his steals for the year this month. The veteran outfielder has a career-worst .652 OPS and .218 batting average over 46 contests while adding two home runs, 14 RBI and 23 runs scored. While he's struggling to find a rhythm at the plate, Happ continues to hold down a starting job in left field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:54 pm
     
  • Perez knocks in Tigers lone run Thursday
    Wenceel Perez went 1-for-4 with an RBI against the Blue Jays on Thursday.

    Advice: To say it was a quiet night for the Tigers offense would be an understatement. Detroit failed to record an extra-base hit on the night. Perez singled in the sixth inning to drive in Javier Baez and Carson Kelly was thrown out at home by Kevin Kiermaier on the same play. Perez has been the lone bright spot in the Tigers order recently. He’s hitting .295 with an .859 OPS and 14 RBI since his April call to the majors. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:34 pm

  • Varsho blasts ninth home run Thursday
    Daulton Varsho went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Tigers on Thursday.

    Advice: Varsho came to the plate in a tie game in the seventh inning and hit a two-run home run off Tigers starter Jack Flaherty that put the Blue Jays ahead for good. Varsho is hitting just .213 this year, but he has five stolen bases to go with nine home runs and 27 RBI. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:30 pm
     
  • Hits third homer
    Kelenic went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Kelenic opened the scoring in the fifth inning, taking Hayden Wesneski deep. This was Kelenic's third straight game with a hit, and all three of his homers this year have come over his last 11 contests, a span in which he's hitting .222 (8-for-36). The outfielder is at a .248/.293/.376 slash line with eight RBI, 11 runs scored, five doubles and no stolen bases over 116 plate appearances. He is likely to remain limited to a strong-side platoon role in left field, sharing the position with Adam Duvall, unless either outfielder goes on an extended hot streak.

  • Pops game-tying homer
    Martini went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

    Advice: Martini has started the last two games in right field, replacing Jake Fraley (hand). Prior to Thursday, Martini was stuck in an 0-for-15 drought at the major-league level, though the slump spanned a demotion to Triple-A Louisville. He snapped it with a second-inning single before tying this contest with a two-run blast in the sixth. For the season, Martini is slashing .184/.204/.356 with four homers, 17 RBI, 15 runs scored and no stolen bases across 93 plate appearances. When the Reds are closer to full health, Martini will likely compete for playing time with Mike Ford, who is batting .161 on the year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:05 pm
     
  • Three hits Thursday
    Peralta went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Reds.

    Advice: This was Peralta's second game with the Padres, and he's been in the organization for less than a week after signing a minor-league deal last Saturday. He's started one game apiece in right field and left field, allowing Jurickson Profar and Fernando Tatis to each take a turn at designated hitter. There's room for all three outfielders in the lineup versus right-handed pitchers, while Peralta is likely to sit against southpaws. He filled a similar strong-side platoon role with the Dodgers in 2023, slashing .259/.294/.381 with seven home runs, 55 RBI and four stolen bases. There's not a lot of power in his bat, but he could provide some overall upside if he makes contact consistently. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:58 pm
     
  • To miss at least one month
    Jimenez (hamstring) is expected to miss around a month,Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Jimenez was placed on the injured list Wednesday but no exact timeline for his return was disclosed. After missing two weeks to start April with a similar issue, Jimenez will face a longer absence this time around. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:17 pm
     
  • Bleday homers again Thursday
    JJ Bleday went 1-for-6 with a two-run home run against the Rockies on Thursday.

    Advice: Bleday clutched up with a game-tying home run in bottom of the 11th inning. It was his second game in a row with a home run. While Bleday is hitting just .243, he’s got seven home runs and 21 RBI this season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:15 pm
