  • Back from injured list
    Urshela (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at third base Tuesday against the Marlins, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Advice: The 32-year-old landed on the shelf with a strained hamstring April 20, but he's ready to rejoin the Tigers after a three-game rehab assignment, during which he went 5-for-8 with a walk, an RBI and two runs. Prior to the injury, Urshela posted a .298 average through 18 games but didn't provide much pop with just two extra-base hits (both doubles). Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago

  • Headed back down
    Baddoo was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

    Advice: Baddoo was recalled on Saturday and made his first MLB appearance of the season, notching a triple and scoring a run during his only at-bat. However, he'll get sent back down to Triple-A to make room for Gio Urshela (hamstring) on the big league roster. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago

  • Gio Urshela gets activated, draws start for Tigers
    Tigers activated 3B Gio Urshela from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Urshela is playing third base and batting sixth tonight against Marlins lefty Ryan Weathers. He should be a lineup fixture versus southpaws and also see a fair amount of time against righties, with Matt Vierling seeing occasional outfield duty in those situations. Rotoworld 34 minutes ago

  • Tigers send Baddoo back to Triple-A
    Tigers optioned OF Akil Baddoo to Triple-A Toledo.

    Advice: Baddoo got just one at-bat during his brief stint with the Tigers, though he made it count by delivering a triple. He was also doing solid work in Triple-A, so he should prove worthy of a real opportunity at some point. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago

  • Sent down to Durham
    Shenton was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: The 26-year-old will make room for Jonathan Aranda (finger) on the big league roster. Shenton slashed .189/.318/.378 with a homer and four doubles in 44 plate appearances with the Rays. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago

  • Activated from IL
    Aranda (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: Aranda fractured his finger just days before Opening Day and was forced to get surgery. After completing his 4-to-6 weeks of rehab, Aranda will return to the big league roster, pushing Austin Shenton to Triple-A Durham. In 55 plate appearances with Durham, Aranda slashed .196/.327/.283 with 20 strikeouts. He should see plenty of action at designation hitter but is not in the lineup Tuesday in Boston.

  • Remains out Tuesday
    Riley (side) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: Atlanta received good news when an MRI revealed merely inflammation in Riley's left side rather than a strain. However, he is likely still sore and will miss a second straight start. With a scheduled off day coming Thursday, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Atlanta hold Riley out until Friday just to be safe. Zack Short is getting another start at third base Tuesday.

  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Burger is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Detroit.

    Advice: Burger has had trouble finding his rhythm since returning from the injured list, going just 2-for-29 at the plate. He'll get a day off to reset. Tristan Gray will handle third base in Burger's stead. Rotowire.com Today, 12:27 pm

  • Absent from lineup
    Kirilloff is not in the lineup for Tuesday's tilt against the Yankees.

    Advice: Kirilloff will begin this one on the bench as the Yankees send lefty Carlos Rodon to the hill. Austin Martin is getting the start in left field. Rotowire.com Today, 12:15 pm
