    • Struggles in long relief
      Francis allowed four runs on five hits and no walks with two strikeouts across 3.1 innings against the Orioles on Tuesday.

      Advice: Francis was activated from the 15-day IL leading up to the contest and was expected to follow Trevor Richards in bulk relief. Instead, he was the third Blue Jay pitcher to take the mound, taking over for Genesis Cabrera midway through the third inning. Frances was tormented by Ryan Mountcastle, surrendering a three-run home run and a two-run home run to the Orioles' first baseman. While Toronto is hoping for Francis to take the fifth rotation spot vacated by Alek Manoah (elbow), Francis didn't do much to prove that he's worthy of the role Tuesday.

    • Goes deep in win
      Greene went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

      Advice: Greene extended his hitting streak to six games, and he's batting .391 with two home runs during the hot stretch. Overall, the 23-year-old outfielder is batting .249 with 11 long balls, which matches his career-high total from last season. Greene is still a bit inconsistent at the plate, which isn't surprising for a player his age, but he's been dynamic when he's locked in Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
       
    • Duran drives in lone run for Rangers in loss
      Ezequiel Duran went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Tigers.

      Advice: Duran’s RBI single in the ninth gave the Rangers their only run in the evening and was just one of the five hits they had in the night. Duran and the Rangers spent much of the night being stifled by Jack Flaherty and the Tigers’ bullpen, but did manage to break through with two hits in the final frame. Duran has one home run and seven RBI on the season over 41 games and can continue to be left on the waiver wire. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago

    • Dunning allows three earned runs in loss to Tigers
      Dane Dunning allowed three earned runs over five innings while striking out four in Tuesday’s loss to the Tigers.

      Advice: Dunning allowed just five baserunners on the evening, but home runs to Zach McKinstry and Riley Green did enough damage to saddle him with the loss. Dunning didn’t get any run support in this one, as Tigers starter Jack Flaherty allowed just two hits in five innings of work to keep the Tigers in front throughout the evening. Dunning’s next start is scheduled for Tuesday, on the road against the Dodgers. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
       
    • Big effort in win
      McKinstry went 2-for-4 with a triple and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

      Advice: McKinstry launched his first home run of the season in the second inning, then followed with his second triple of the year in the fourth. While Javier Baez is still the team's primary option at shortstop, McKinstry has managed to carve out a sizeable role amid Baez's struggles at the plate. McKinstry is probably best suited as a utility player, however, so he likely will continue to move around the field rather than replace Baez altogether. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago

    • Riley Greene hits 11th homer in win over Rangers
      Riley Greene went 1-for-4 with a home run in Tuesday’s win over the Rangers.

      Advice: Greene smacked his 11th homer of the season off of Dane Dunning in the fifth inning to push the Tigers’ lead to 3-0. Greene has hit safely in six straight games and has two homers over that span. He continues to be a productive hitter at the top of the Tigers’ lineup and is fifth on the team with 24 RBI.

    • Effective in return
      Miller (elbow) tossed 1.1 scoreless innings of relief with three strikeouts in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

      Advice: Miller was reinstated from the injured list before the game after being sidelined since May 13 due to right ulnar nerve inflammation, and the Tigers wasted no time getting him back into the thick of things. The righty didn't seem to skip a beat as he retired his four batters on just 17 pitches to secure his fourth hold of the season. Miller figures to remain a high-leverage reliever for Detroit as long as he's healthy, giving him a chance to rack up more holds and possibly an occasional save. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
       
    • Exits early Tuesday
      Flaherty was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rangers due to back tightness, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

      Advice: Flaherty had cruised through five shutout innings and thrown just 60 pitches before being suddenly pulled from the game. Manager A.J. Hinch said after the contest that the team still does not know the severity of the right-hander's injury, but the Tigers will presumably continue to run tests on his back and have an update on his status within the next couple of days.

    • Jack Flaherty left start due to back tightness
      Jack Flaherty was removed from Tuesday’s start against the Rangers due to back tightness.

      Advice: Tigers manager A.J. Hinch told reporters afterwards that he didn’t know the severity of the issue, but back injuries can be extremely complicated matters. The 28-year-old righty has been outstanding this season in his Tigers debut and was lifted from Tuesday’s outing against the Rangers after striking out four over five scoreless frames. There should be an update on his status in the coming days, but it’s possible Flaherty will wind up requiring a trip to the injured list. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
