Tigers' Reese Olson: Strong start wasted Saturday
Olson came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays, scattering one hit and one walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out six.
The right-hander faced only one batter above the minimum and didn't let a Toronto runner get past first base in his third quality start of the season, but Olson saw his fifth win of the year slip away when the Detroit bullpen fell apart late. He's blanked the opposition in four of his last six trips to the mound, posting a 1.60 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB through 33.2 innings over that stretch. Olson will look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Guardians.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Resting Saturday
Sweeney isn't part of the lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto.
Sweeney had been in the lineup for each of Detroit's last five matchups against left-handed starters, but he'll yield to Zach McKinstry at shortstop against southpaw Eric Lauer. The left-handed-hitting Sweeney is slashing .259/.323/.378 on the season.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Idle Saturday
Dingler isn't part of the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto.
Dingler started each of Detroit's last five games, and he'll get a rest day Saturday against Eric Lauer and the Blue Jays. In Dingler's place, Tomas Nido will catch and bat ninth. In 127 plate appearances, Dingler is slashing .270/.299/.434.

Tigers' Javier Baez: Goes deep in win
Baez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays.
Baez continued his strong recent play as he recorded his sixth home run of the season, all of which have come over his last 12 games. For the season, the veteran is now sporting an impressive .307 batting average and .855 OPS. By comparison, Baez batted just .184 during the 2024 regular season with a .515 OPS. The OPS was a new career low.

Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Hits second home run
McKinstry went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays.
McKinstry hit his second home run of the season in the fourth inning against Toronto starter Bowden Francis. The infielder now has half as many long balls as he did during the 2024 regular season, and while he's not a huge power threat, he's been effective with a .286 batting average and .803 OPS through 41 games in 2025. Both of those figures would be new career highs for McKinstry.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Notches first save
Brieske worked around two hits to pitch a scoreless ninth inning and earn the save in Friday's 5-4 win over Toronto. He did not record a walk or strikeout.
Tommy Kahnle was dispatched in the eighth inning, and rather than bring Will Vest to close things out the Tigers opted to call in Brieske for the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead. Brieske got the first two batters out, and after issuing consecutive singles he closed things out by getting Ernie Clement to ground out. It was Brieske's first save of the season, but he still has a 6.59 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 13.2 innings.

Tigers' Riley Greene: Hot streak continues Friday
Greene went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a two-run double in Friday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays.
Greene put the Tigers on the board in the second inning with a solo shot off Bowden Francis, and he extended the Tigers' lead to 4-0 in the fifth on a two-run double. It was Greene's third multi-hit game in his last four outings, and the 24-year-old has reached base safely in 16 straight contests. Over that span, he has slashed .371/.435/.758 with one steal, seven home runs and 17 RBI in 69 plate appearances.

Tigers' Jack Flaherty: Breaks five-game loss streak
Flaherty (2-5) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out six across 5.2 innings.
Flaherty had a 6.66 ERA and 1.44 WHIP over his last five starts (all losses), but he was much better in Friday's outing. He kept the Blue Jays off the board through the first five innings and struck out the first two batters he faced in the sixth, but he yielded a two-run home run to Daulton Varsho and was one out shy from logging his second quality start of the season. Flaherty will look to make it two wins in a row in his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Cardinals.

Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: On rehab assignment
McGonigle (ankle) is 2-for-7 with two walks and zero strikeouts through three rehab games with Single-A Lakeland.
He will likely be activated at High-A West Michigan in the coming days after missing five weeks with a right ankle sprain. McGonigle is one of the best pure hitters in the minors and will likely set himself up for a promotion to Double-A Erie, along with Max Clark, sometime this summer.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Stays hot in May
Sweeney went 1-for-2 with an RBI single and a sac fly in Wednesday's 6-5 win over Boston.
Sweeney put the Tigers on the board in the second inning on an RBI single and tacked on another run in the sixth on a sacrifice fly. Sweeney has logged at least one RBI in each of his last three games, and since the beginning of May he has gone 19-for-47 (.404) with three home runs and 13 RBI.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Fans 11, but yields five runs
Skubal allowed five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out 11 over 6.1 innings, but he did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Red Sox.
Skubal limited the Red Sox to two runs through the first six innings and looked to be on his way to earning his sixth quality start of the season. He was brought back for the seventh frame, but he was lifted after allowing three consecutive baserunners and was tagged for three more runs. Skubal still managed generate 21 whiffs on 95 pitches (67 strikes) and tallied double-digit strikeouts for the third time in his last four outings. The 28-year-old southpaw is in line to face the Cardinals on the road next week.

Tigers' Will Vest: Records another win Wednesday
Vest (3-0) worked around two hits to pitch a scoreless inning of relief and earn the win in Wednesday's 6-5 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out one.
Vest now has two wins over his last four appearances out of the bullpen, and he's already tied his career high with three wins overall this season. The veteran righty has been locked in with a 1.80 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 23 strikeouts across 20 innings. Vest has four saves as well, and while Tommy Kahnle is also in the mix at the end of games, the former has established definite fantasy value so far in 2025.

Tigers' Riley Greene: Powers team to win
Greene went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Red Sox.
Greene connected for his 10th home run of the season and fourth this month in the sixth inning. The outfielder is trending upward with a .304 batting average and .994 OPS in May. For the season, Greene is now batting .273 with an .823 OPS to go along with 27 RBI across 42 games, and he should continue to occupy a prime spot in Detroit's lineup moving forward.

Tigers' Gage Workman: Returns to Tigers
Workman cleared waivers Wednesday and was returned to the Tigers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Since being selected by the Cubs in the Rule 5 Draft this offseason, Workman has slashed .188/.235/.250 in the majors and has been cast off the active rosters of both Chicago clubs. He'll now return to his original organization without a spot on the 40-man roster and will presumably report to Triple-A Toledo to serve as organizational depth.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Rare day off Wednesday
Torkelson is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.
Torkelson clubbed his 11th home run in Tuesday's extra-innings victory over the Red Sox, but he will receive just his second day off of the season in Wednesday's series finale. Colt Keith is playing first base for the Tigers and Kerry Carpenter will be the club's designated hitter.
