The Tigers optioned Baddoo to Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Baddoo was called up Monday to replace Austin Meadows (hamstring). After going 0-for-7 in three games after the promotion, Baddoo will surrender his active roster spot to Ryan Vilade.
The Tigers recalled Baddoo from Triple-A Toledo on Monday. He'll start in left field and bat eighth in the Tigers' series opener versus the Guardians.
Baddoo returns to Detroit's 26-man active roster as a replacement for Austin Meadows (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Though Meadows had been operating as an everyday player for the brief time he was up with the big club, Baddoo projects to serve as a fourth outfielder behind primary starters Riley Greene, Wenceel Perez and Matt Vierling. Baddoo will crack the lineup Monday, however, while Vierling gets a day off.
