Tigers' Javier Baez: Activation likely Tuesday
Manager A.J. Hinch said that he expects Baez (ankle) to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
The 33-year-old has been sidelined due to an ankle sprain since late April, but he's ready to rejoin the Tigers after a four-game rehab assignment, during which he went 6-for-12 with three doubles. Baez had a .256/.280/.397 slash line through 24 games prior to the injury. He made starts at center field and shortstop during the rehab stint, which provides an indication of where he'll be spending most of his time on the big-league club.

Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Triples, reaches three times Monday
McKinstry went 2-for-3 with a walk, a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 8-5 loss to the Orioles.
McKinstry is struggling overall with a .206 batting average and .594 OPS this season, though he's been better since the start of June. While the veteran utility player feels unlikely to match last year's career best totals of 12 home runs and 19 stolen bases, he is at least seeing regular playing time. McKinstry is known for moving around defensively, though he may focus primarily on right field in the short term with Wenceel Perez (orbital) and Kerry Carpenter (foot) both on the injured list.

Tigers' Jacob Waguespack: Pitching well out of bullpen
Waguespack, who tossed two scoreless innings of relief with two strikeouts Monday against the Orioles, now has a 1.47 ERA across 18.1 innings this season.
Waguespack allowed an earned run in his last appearance before Monday, but prior to that, he had rattled off 10 straight scoreless outings. The righty last pitched in the majors in 2024, and he had a 5.40 ERA in limited action that season, so it remains to be seen if he can maintain his current form. As it stands, Waguespack is starting to earn some degree of trust within Detroit's bullpen, and his role could increase accordingly.

Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Extends hitting streak to 12 games
Lee went 1-for-3 with two RBI during the Tigers' 8-5 loss to the Orioles on Monday.
Lee got the Tigers on the board with a sacrifice fly in the second inning before driving in another run on an infield single in the fourth. That single extended Lee's hitting streak to 12 games, which is currently the longest in the majors. In that span, he has gone 15-for-40 (.375) with two home runs, four doubles and 10 RBI.

Tigers' Keider Montero: Takes loss against Baltimore
Montero (7-6) took the loss against the Orioles on Monday, allowing six runs (four earned) on nine hits and one walk while striking out one across 4.1 innings.
Montero put the Tigers on the back foot early by allowing four runs (two earned) through the first three frames before being tagged for two more runs in the fifth, which came from home runs from Leody Taveras and Coby Mayo. The four earned runs tied a season high that Montero set four times earlier in the year, and he now sports a 3.34 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 79:23 K:BB across 110.1 innings. His next start is lined up for this weekend on the road against the Athletics.

Tigers' Eduardo Valencia: Back with big club
The Tigers recalled Valencia from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.
Valencia didn't deserve to be sent back down in the first place after going 5-for-12 with a pair of home runs in his first stint with the big club earlier this month. He didn't have to wait long for another opportunity, as the rookie will replace the injured Kerry Carpenter (foot) on the roster. Valencia could see some starts at designated hitter in Carpenter's stead, though regular playing time for the 26-year-old isn't a given.

Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Shelved by plantar fasciitis
The Tigers placed Carpenter on the 10-day injured list Monday with left foot plantar fasciitis.
He exited Sunday's game versus the Royals with what was initially referred to as an aggravation of a bruised right heel, but after being evaluated further Carpenter has been tagged with a plantar fasciitis diagnosis. It's an injury with the potential to lead to a lengthy absence, though it could be a pain tolerance issue for Carpenter. Matt Vierling, Hao-Yu Lee and Eduardo Valencia are candidates for more reps for the Tigers while Carpenter is out.

Tigers' Keider Montero: Remaining in rotation this week
Montero is slated to start Monday's game against the Orioles in Detroit, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Montero had made five straight appearances out of the Detroit bullpen before being thrust into the rotation last Wednesday in Chicago. The right-hander turned in a gem of an outing in a win over the Cubs, striking out eight batters across 5.1 innings while permitting just one earned run on three hits and no walks. Though Jack Flaherty (forearm) is reportedly eyeing a minimum-length stay on the 15-day injured list, Montero will serve as the Tigers' No. 5 starter for the time being and tentatively lines up for a two-start week. After Monday's outing, Montero is on track to take the hill again during Sunday's series finale versus the Athletics in hitter-friendly Sacramento.

Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Likely bound for IL
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Monday that Carpenter is being evaluated for plantar fasciitis in his left foot and is trending toward a stint on the injured list, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Detroit plans to re-evaluate Carpenter on Tuesday before making any roster moves, but Eduardo Valencia is en route from Triple-A Toledo and is expected to be formally recalled in the likely event Carpenter goes on the IL. The 28-year-old slugger made an early exit in Sunday's loss to the Royals due to what was referred to as an aggravation of a bruised right heel, but Hinch indicated that Carpenter is believed to be dealing with a slightly different injury. Along with Valencia, Carpenter's expected move to the IL could open up more playing time for the likes of Matt Vierling and Hao-Yu Lee, both of whom are included in the lineup for Monday's series opener versus the Orioles.

Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Not starting Monday
Carpenter (heel) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
Carpenter will need at least one day off after he was lifted following the fourth inning of Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Royals due to right heel discomfort. Per MLB.com, Carpenter had recently been playing through a painful bruise on the same foot, which was caused by a pair of new cleats. Carpenter was set to undergo a more thorough evaluation of his heel Monday, and the Tigers are classifying him as day-to-day for the time being.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Left out of starting nine Monday
Torres is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
The Tigers have been careful not to overexert Torres since he rejoined the big club last Monday following a month-long stint on the injured list due to an oblique strain. He'll sit for the second time since being activated, and the Tigers have also deployed him at designated hitter in two of his first six starts following his return. Detroit will go with Riley Greene in the DH spot Monday, while Hao-Yu Lee steps in at second base.

Tigers' Jackson Jobe: Completes four-inning rehab start
Jobe (elbow) struck out four and allowed one earned run on two hits and two walks across four innings in a rehab start Saturday with Double-A Erie.
Jobe is now four starts into his rehab assignment and has thus far looked sharp in his comeback from Tommy John surgery, posting a 1.59 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB in 11.1 innings across stops with three affiliates. According to Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, Jobe will next throw a bullpen session at Comerica Park before making another rehab start with Triple-A Toledo.

Tigers' Framber Valdez: Fans four in no-decision
Valdez took a no-decision Sunday against the Royals, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out four.
A fielding error by Hao-Yu Lee with two outs in opening frame put an unearned run on Valdez's line. The 32-year-old southpaw has pitched at least five innings in all but three of his 21 starts this year, so he's providing fairly consistent length in spite of the shakiness he's shown overall during his debut season with the Tigers. Valdez's 4.53 ERA and 1.38 WHIP for the campaign are his worst marks since 2019 with Houston, and he's also registered a career-worst 7.3 strikeouts per nine innings in 2026.
