• Twins' Ryan Kreidler: Could win roster spot

  Rotowire Mar 13, 2026

  Kreidler appears to be the leading candidate to win a utility infield role with the Twins, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports. He'd make the team based on his glove, as he's hit just .138/.208/.176 over parts of four major-league seasons and is only a career .236/.342/.401 hitter in the minors. The Twins don't have a clear backup shortstop on the roster, so Kreidler is battling Orlando Arcia for the backup shortstop role.

  Rotowire Oct 15, 2025

  The Twins claimed Kreidler off waivers from the Pirates on Wednesday. Kreidler had been booted off the Pirates' 40-man roster earlier this week and has now found a new home. The 27-year-old has slashed just .138/.208/.176 over parts of four major-league seasons and is only a career .236/.342/.401 hitter in the minors. Kreidler does offer positional versatility and will likely compete for a reserve role with the Twins next season.

  Rotowire Aug 24, 2025

  The Pirates claimed Kriedler off waivers from the Tigers on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis. The 27-year-old Kreidler is capable of playing multiple infield and outfield spots, but he's slashed just .138/.208/.176 over 211 plate appearances across parts of four seasons in the majors with the Tigers. He'll report to the minors with his new organization but could be a candidate for a call-up when Pittsburgh's active roster expands to 28 men Sept. 1.

  Kreidler is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Royals on Friday.

• Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: On bench Tuesday

  Rotowire Apr 8, 2025

  Kreidler is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees. Kreidler will give way to Riley Greene in center field after starting in each of the Tigers' last three contests. Though he could have a fairly clear pathway to playing time in the outfield until Detroit gets one of Wenceel Perez (back), Matt Vierling (shoulder) or Parker Meadows (arm) back from the injured list, Kreidler has done little to warrant much attention in fantasy circles. He enters Tuesday's contest with a .136 average, three runs, one stolen base and no RBI in nine games and has struck out in 12 of his 25 plate appearances.

• Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Serving as primary center fielder

  Rotowire Apr 2, 2025

  Kreidler will start in center field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Mariners. Kreidler has served as Detroit's primary center fielder so far this season, starting in five of the first six games while going 2-for-12 with a walk, a run and a stolen base. He'll likely move into a utility role or potentially even head to Triple-A Toledo once the Tigers get at least one of Wenceel Perez (back), Matt Vierling (shoulder) or Parker Meadows (arm) back from the injured list.

• Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Officially makes Opening Day roster

  Rotowire Mar 26, 2025

  The Tigers recalled Kreidler from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. Kreidler was optioned this past weekend, but he rejoined the club earlier this week following a rash of outfield injuries. The 27-year-old looks to be the favorite to handle center field for the Tigers while Parker Meadows (arm) and Wenceel Perez (back) are shelved.

• Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Sent back to Toledo

  Rotowire Aug 3, 2024

  The Tigers optioned Kreidler to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday. Kreidler appeared in two games for the big club after being called up from Toledo on Monday, going 1-for-4 with a stolen base. For the season, he's slashing .136/.208/.205 with three stolen bases, one home run and two RBI across 48 major-league plate appearances. The move makes room on the Tigers' 26-man roster for Parker Meadows (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

• Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Returns to Triple-A

  Rotowire Jul 8, 2024

  The Tigers optioned Kreidler to Triple-A Toledo on Monday. Javier Baez (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list, so Kreidler will head back to Triple-A since his playing time was about to dry up. Kreidler should receive everyday reps at a variety of positions at Toledo. He hit .125 with one home run and two stolen bases over 40 at-bats with the Tigers following his June 11 promotion.

• Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Swipes two bases Tuesday

  Rotowire Jun 25, 2024

  Kreidler went 2-for-2 with a walk, a run and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Phillies. Kreidler stole the first two bases of his MLB career in the seventh inning. The 26-year-old has mostly been a bench player in the majors, so while Tuesday's effort was promising, it looks to be an outlier. Zach McKinstry should get most of the playing time at shortstop in the near future with Javier Baez (back) still on the injured list, pushing Kreidler to a reserve role most days.

• Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Rehabbing at Single-A

  Rotowire May 26, 2024

  Kreidler (finger) began a rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland on Wednesday and has gone 0-for-6 with one walk and four strikeouts through his first two games. Kreidler has been on Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list since early April while recovering from surgery to repair a fractured right index finger. Once he regains his timing at the plate during the rehab assignment, Kreidler should settle back into an everyday role in the Toledo infield.

  Rotowire Apr 9, 2024

Kreidler had already been placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Toledo and subsequent testing has revealed the fracture.
