  • Set to start Monday for Detroit
    The Tigers are set to promote Manning from Triple-A Toledo to start Monday against the Marlins, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Manning is set to rejoin the big club after Kenta Maeda was placed on the 15-day IL due to a viral illness. Manning started for the Tigers as the 27th man against the Cardinals on April 30, when he gave up four runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings while striking out seven in a no-decision. The 26-year-old right-hander holds a 0-1 record over three major-league starts with a 4.24 ERA and 1.18 WHIP this season. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting Saturday
    Langeliers is not in Saturday's lineup against the Mariners.

    Advice: Langeliers is on a heater, batting .429 with three home runs, two triples and two doubles in his last five games. Kyle McCann is starting behind the dish and hitting sixth. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
     
  • Brought up to big club
    The Tigers recalled Baddoo from Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

    Advice: Baddoo wasn't able to make the Tigers' Opening Day roster after going 3-for-25 with 13 strikeouts during spring training. The 25-year-old is slashing .257/.366/.478 with 11 stolen bases, four triples, four home runs and 16 RBI over 134 plate appearances in Triple-A. He appeared in 112 games with Detroit last season, posting a .218/.310/.372 with 11 home runs and 34 RBI over 357 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
     
  • Likely Maeda replacement
    Manning will likely rejoin the big-league rotation with Kenta Maeda (viral illness) being placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Jack Flaherty is currently listed as the starter for Sunday's game against the Astros, but given that Manning was scratched from his Saturday start for Toledo, it's possible he could start Sunday, or at least Monday against the Marlins. Manning has a 4.24 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 17 strikeouts in 17 innings through three MLB starts this year. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Lands on IL
    The Tigers placed Maeda on the 15-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to May 8, due to a viral illness.

    Advice: Maeda's ailment may in part explain his struggles in his last start against the Guardians on Tuesday, when he allowed seven runs on five hits across two innings and did not factor into the decision. The veteran right-hander will be on the shelf until at least May 23, which would line up with the start of a three-game home series against the Blue Jays. The Tigers recalled outfielder Akil Baddoo from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move, but Detroit could look to bring up Matt Manning from Triple-A to bolster the rotation in Maeda's absence.

  • Tigers recall Akil Baddoo from Triple-A Toledo
    Tigers recalled OF Akil Baddoo from Triple-A Toledo.

    Advice: The Tigers have been struggling for offense, and the 25-year-old outfielder has been raking at the Triple-A level, so this move makes sense. On the season, he’s slashing .257/.366/.478 with four homers, 16 RBI and 11 stolen bases through his first 30 games. He’s always possessed an intriguing blend of power and speed, the only thing standing in the way of potential mixed league fantasy value now is playing time. Rotoworld 48 minutes ago
     
  • Tigers place Kenta Maeda (illness) on 15-day IL
    Tigers placed RHP Kenta Maeda on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 8, with a viral illness.

    Advice: The Tigers are the most recent team to be hit by a viral illness that has been going around and it will cause Maeda to miss his scheduled start against the Marlins on Monday. Expect Matt Manning to be summoned from Triple-A Toledo to start in his place for that one. Akil Baddoo was recalled in a corresponding move on Saturday. Rotoworld 50 minutes ago
     
  • Exits with intercostal irritation
    Nimmo left Saturday's game against Atlanta with right intercostal irritation, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Nimmo went 0-for-1 with a walk before exiting after the fourth inning. He suffered the injury on a checked swing and may undergo further tests after the game. Tyrone Taylor replaced Nimmo in left field. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago
     
  • Brandon Nimmo dealing with intercostal irritation
    The Mets announced that Brandon Nimmo was pulled from Saturday’s ballgame against the Braves due to right intercostal irritation.

    Advice: Nimmo sustained the injury on an uncomfortable looking swing. While a lot will depend on how he wakes up feeling on Sunday, there’s a decent chance that he’ll be heading to the injured list. Be sure to check back on his status prior to Sunday’s game. Rotoworld 57 minutes ago
