Tigers' Alex Cobb: Receives injection
Cobb (hip) received an injection in his left hip Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Cobb threw two innings in a rehab start Wednesday but received an injection Friday to address inflammation in his left hip. Cobb had previously been dealing with inflammation in his right hip. It's unclear how long the injection will set his assignment back. Wednesday's outing was his third rehab appearance.

Tigers' Reese Olson: Starting rehab assignment
Olson (finger) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Olson has been sidelined since May 19 due to right ring finger inflammation, but he's about to embark on the final step of his recovery. General manager Jeff Greenberg said Sunday that he's "cautiously optimistic" that Olson will return from the injured list "sooner rather than later," though he may require multiple appearances at Triple-A before being cleared to join the big-league club.

Tigers' Matt Vierling: Begins rehab assignment
Vierling will start a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Vierling will play DH on Friday but is completing a throwing progression daily as part of his recovery from right shoulder inflammation. It's unclear how many games he'll need at Toledo, but he should be back on the active roster within a week or two.

Tigers' Colt Keith: Back in lineup Friday
Keith is starting at first base and batting fifth in Friday's game against the Reds.
Keith was not in the starting lineup Thursday with Baltimore deploying lefty Keegan Akin as the opener, though he did pinch hit and ultimately receive three at-bats in the contest. The young infielder, who has a .706 OPS for the season, will slot back in as a regular starter Friday against Cincinnati righty Nick Martinez.

Tigers' Keider Montero: Slated for bulk relief Friday
Montero is slated to handle a bulk relief role Friday versus the Reds, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Brant Hurter will open for the Tigers before handing things off to Montero. Montero is not unfamiliar with bulk relief, having pitched in that role in three of his last five outings. He has not pitched well following an opener this season, however, posting a 7.36 ERA.

Tigers' Brant Hurter: Opening for Tigers on Friday
Hurter will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher in Friday's game against the Reds, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
It will be the second "start" this week for Hurter, who allowed one run over 2.2 innings Tuesday in Baltimore. Hurter has recorded more than three outs in 16 of 19 appearances this season, so he's capable of providing a little more length than your typical opener. Keider Montero is expected to handle a bulk relief role for Detroit.

Tigers' Will Vest: Collects 12th save
Vest tossed a scoreless inning of relief with two strikeouts to earn the save in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Orioles.
Vest recorded his second save in the series against Baltimore and his 12th of the season as he keeps performing at a high level for the Tigers. The veteran righty lowered his ERA to 1.83, and he's struck out 36 batters in 34.1 innings. Vest has also easily set a new career high in saves, as he came into the year with only five saves at the MLB level across four seasons. Tommy Kahnle has been a reliable high-leverage arm out of the Detroit bullpen as well and has eight saves himself, but Vest has established himself as the top closing option due to his dominant work on the mound.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Sparkles in victory
Skubal (7-2) worked seven shutout frames, allowing just three hits and two walks while striking out six to pick up the win during Thursday's 4-1 win over the Orioles.
Skubal has been as dominant as a pitcher can be lately, and that continued Thursday night after seven more shutout innings. The Tigers ace has surrendered just one run over his last four starts, all lasting seven innings or more. The 28-year-old did walk a batter for the first time since May 20, but that doesn't detract from his 0.29 ERA, 0.55 WHIP and 32 strikeouts over 30.2 frames in his past four outings. Skubal lines up for a favorable matchup versus the Pirates in his next start.

Tigers' Will Vest: Notches another save
Vest tossed a scoreless inning of relief with two strikeouts to earn the save in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Orioles.
Vest recorded his second save in the series against Baltimore and his 12th of the season as he keeps performing at a high level for the Tigers. The veteran righty lowered his ERA to 1.83, and he's struck out 36 batters in 34.1 innings. Vest has also easily set a new career high in saves, as he came into the year with only five saves at the MLB level across four seasons. Tommy Kahnle has been a reliable high-leverage arm out of the Detroit bullpen as well and has eight saves himself, but Vest has established himself as the top closing option due to his dominant work on the mound, even if the pair continue to work in a committee.

Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Tallies two hits, steal in win
McKinstry went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Orioles. He also stole a base.
After a surprisingly strong first two months of the season at the plate, McKinstry has kept rolling in June. The utility player is now batting .343 this month with three stolen bases and six runs scored through 11 games. Despite being a bench option for much of his career, McKinstry is forcing the Tigers to put him in the lineup most days due to his strong offensive output.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Goes deep in win
Dingler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Orioles.
Dingler's solo shot and a three-run home run from Parker Meadows both came in the fourth inning, giving Detroit all the offense it would need in the victory. Dingler is now up to seven long balls for the year after coming into 2025 with just one career MLB home run. The catcher is enjoying a breakout campaign with a .283 batting average and .768 OPS through 53 games, and he's squarely moved past Jake Rogers as the team's top option behind the plate.

Tigers' Parker Meadows: Hits first 2025 home run
Meadows went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Orioles.
Meadows hit his first home run of the season in the fourth inning with two runners on, and it ended up being the difference in the contest. The young outfielder has now played 10 games since returning from the injured list and is batting just .171, though the team seems committed to letting him work off the rust. Meadows batted ninth Thursday as Baltimore opened with lefty Keegan Akin but will likely hit leadoff most days against righties, which boosts his fantasy ceiling.

Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Starting against lefty
Carpenter is starting in right field and batting fifth in Thursday's game against the Orioles.
Carpenter often hits the bench against lefties, but southpaw Keegan Akin is serving as an opener for Baltimore and only expected to cover an inning or two. When he departs, righty Dean Kremer is expected to be the bulk pitcher, and Carpenter has an .826 OPS against righties compared to a .594 mark versus lefties this season.

Tigers' Colt Keith: Not starting Thursday
Keith is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.
With Baltimore using lefty Keegan Akin as the opener, Keith will begin the game on the bench, as he's batting just .156 with a .416 OPS against southpaws this year. However, righty Dean Kremer is expected to be the bulk pitcher after Akin departs, so Keith is an option to pinch hit at some point when a more favorable matchup presents itself.

Tigers' Jahmai Jones: Batting leadoff again
Jones is serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff in Thursday's game against the Orioles.
Just as he did Tuesday when Baltimore started a lefty, Jones will bat first Thursday against southpaw Keegan Akin, who is serving as the opener. Akin is only expected to work an inning or two, with righty Dean Kremer lined up to handle the bulk role. That could lead to someone like Colt Keith, who isn't starting, to pinch hit for Jones later in the contest.

Tigers' Jackson Jobe: Moves to 60-day IL
The Tigers transferred Jobe (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.
Jobe is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery and will miss the rest of the season, so the Tigers will move him to the 60-day IL to clear a 40-man spot for Matt Gage, who was selected from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday. A timeline for Jobe's return will likely surface following his procedure, though he almost certainly won't be cleared to pitch until late 2026 at the earliest.

Tigers' Matt Gage: Added to bullpen
The Tigers selected Gage's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.
Gage earned a promotion after collecting a 1.67 ERA and 28:4 K:BB over 32.1 innings with Toledo. He will give manager A.J. Hinch another left-handed relief option.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Sent back to minors
The Tigers optioned Brieske to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.
Brieske was knocked around for five runs while recording just one out in Wednesday's loss to the Orioles, pushing his ERA on the season to 6.55. He'll try to get back on track at Toledo.
