Meadows will start in center field and bat ninth in Thursday's Game 3 of the American League Wild Card Series versus the Guardians. The Guardians are sending righty Slade Cecconi to the bump, but the left-handed-swinging Meadows has nonetheless been pushed from the leadoff spot all the way to the bottom of the batting order. Meadows has gone 1-for-8 with a 1:3 BB:K in the first two games of the series. Gleyber Torres -- who typically bats second -- will hit leadoff for the Tigers in Thursday's elimination game.

Meadows will start in center field and bat leadoff in Friday's game versus the Marlins. It's the first time since June 14 that Meadows has occupied the leadoff spot. Each of his first five starts back from the injured list have come from the bottom-third of the lineup, but he's earned a move up by going 7-for-15 with two home runs and a 3:1 BB:K.

Meadows went 3-for-5 with a home run, two total runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Yankees. Meadows hit his second home run in his last three games and fourth of the season in the fifth inning with a runner on against New York starter Will Warren. The outfielder added an RBI single in the seventh. While Meadows is slashing just .216/.291/.351 overall this season, he's been better lately with a .276/.364/.552 line across his last 10 contests, which date back to July due to him missing time with a strained right quad. The 25-year-old should continue to start regularly in center because of his strong defensive play, and increased production at the plate would be an added bonus.

Meadows (quadriceps) has been activated from the 10-day injured list and will start Friday's game against the White Sox in center field, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Meadows will be in the Tigers' lineup for the first time since being placed on the injured list July 28 due to a strained right quad. The 25-year-old will immediately slot into his usual center field spot. In six rehab games, Meadows went 5-for-20 (.250) with a double and a triple.

Meadows (quadriceps) will undergo a running test over the next few days and could begin a rehab assignment after that if he checks out well, MLB.com reports. Meadows has been running, hitting and throwing regularly as he recovers from a right quad strain, and he now appears set to advance to the next stage. If the 25-year-old looks good during the running evaluation, he could head out on a brief minor-league rehab assignment before returning from the injured list in early September. Meadows has been out since July 28 and will likely slot in as Detroit's primary center fielder when he's back, at least against right-handed pitching.
