Tigers' Parker Meadows: Big game Tuesday
Parker 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.

Tigers' Parker Meadows: Nearing rehab assignment
Parker 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.

Tigers' Parker Meadows: Could begin rehab soon
Parker Meadows (quad) has been running, hitting and throwing regularly, and a rehab assignment could be on tap soon, MLB.com reports.Meadows has been out since July 28 due to a right quadriceps strain. The outfielder seems to be progressing in his recovery, and the expectation is that he'll be back with the Detroit Tigers this month. While Meadows is only batting .200 on the year, he does provide strong defense in center, and Detroit could use the reinforcement with Matt Vierling (oblique) likely out until September and possibly set to miss the rest of the regular season.

Tigers' Parker Meadows: Begins running progression
Parker Meadows (quad) has begun a running progression, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.Meadows is just over a week removed from landing on the 10-day injured list with a right quad strain, so it's a good sign that he's already been cleared to run. It's still too soon to project when he might be able to return to the Detroit Tigers' active roster, however. Matt Vierling has been seeing most of the action in center field for Detroit since Meadows was injured.

Tigers' Parker Meadows: Hits IL with quad strain
The Detroit Tigers placed Parker Meadows on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a right quadriceps strain, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.Meadows may have tweaked his quad during the Tigers' 10-4 win over the Blue Jays on Sunday, when he was lifted in the eighth inning after going 2-for-3 with two runs scored. He's eligible for reinstatement Aug. 8, but he'll undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury before the Tigers provide a clearer timeline for his return. Matt Vierling will start in center field in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks and could be the main beneficiary from a playing-time standpoint while Meadows is on the shelf.
