Tigers' Gio Urshela: Drives in two
Rotowire
Urshela went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-2 win over Milwaukee.
Urshela plated two runners on a fifth inning single, coming around to score later in the inning. The third-baseman had been slumping over the last week, batting just .176 with one extra-base hit, two RBI and one run scored. The 32-year-old Urshela provides limited fantasy value due to his lack of power -- he has just two home runs and seven extra-base hits in 134 plate appearances this season.

Tigers' Riley Greene: Smacks two doubles
Rotowire
Greene went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, one run scored and one RBI in Sunday's win versus Milwaukee.
Greene broke out of a 2-for-19 slump Sunday, hitting two doubles to raise his season total to 14. The 23-year-old has shown improved power this season, matching last season's total of 11 home runs in 149 fewer plate appearances. On the season, the left-fielder is slashing .243/.342/.451 with 11 home runs, 25 RBI and 43 runs scored over 272 plate appearances.

Tigers' Miguel Diaz: Joins Detroit on MiLB deal
Rotowire
Diaz agreed to a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
The right-hander was cut loose by Houston in late May but was able to land a minor-league pact with Detroit. Diaz struggled to a 9.64 ERA in 13 outings at Triple-A Sugar Land with the Astros and will need better results for the Tigers to have a chance of seeing the big leagues.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Dazzles with 10 Ks
Rotowire
Skubal (8-1) picked up the win Sunday versus Milwaukee, allowing one earned run on five hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters in 6.2 innings.
Skubal nearly went seven scoreless innings, but he allowed an RBI triple to Brice Turang before being pulled. Skubal dominated the Brewers, inducing 17 swinging strikes and allowing only one extra-base hit, turning in his ninth quality start over his past 10 games. The southpaw has been one of the best pitchers in baseball, compiling a 1.92 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP with 96 strikeouts in 79.2 innings. He is tentatively scheduled for a road start in Houston next weekend.

Tigers' Wenceel Perez: Batting leadoff Sunday
Rotowire
Perez is starting in right field and batting first in Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Perez wasn't in the starting lineup Saturday, though he did appear as a pinch hitter, and he'll be back in there Sunday. The 24-year-old rookie is 0-for-12 across his last four games, which has lowered his batting average from .268 to .247. Despite the recent slump, Perez should continue to see semi-regular playing time moving forward, mixing in with Riley Greene, Matt Vierling and Akil Baddoo in Detroit's outfield.

Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Starting at shortstop Sunday
Rotowire
McKinstry is starting at shortstop and batting seventh in Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Javier Baez started the first two games of the series at shortstop, but he'll hit the bench Sunday and give way to McKinstry. Baez is struggling mightily this season with a .183/.209/.247 slash line, so McKinstry could earn more playing time moving forward, though the latter profiles more as a utility player than an everyday starter.

Tigers' Carson Kelly: Out of lineup Sunday
Rotowire
Kelly is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Brewers on Sunday.
Kelly will get a rest Sunday after starting in the first two games of the series, going 2-for-7 with one RBI. With Brewers right-hander Bryse Wilson on the mound for Sunday's series finale, Jake Rogers will start behind home plate and bat ninth.

Rotowire
Baez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Brewers.
Baez will begin Sunday's game in the dugout after starting in each of the first two games of the series, going 1-for-7 with two strikeouts. The lefty-hitting Zach McKinstry will start at shortstop and bat seventh against Milwaukee right-hander Bryse Wilson.

Tigers' Colt Keith: Sitting Sunday
Rotowire
Keith (knee) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Brewers.
Keith was removed in the third inning of Saturday's 5-4 loss after colliding with Akil Baddoo in right field. With the Tigers slated for an off day Monday, Keith will have some additional rest before the next series against the Nationals beginning Tuesday. The 22-year-old second baseman told reporters before Sunday's game that there is no structural damage to his left knee, and he doesn't expect to need a stint on the IL, per Jason Beck of MLB.com. With Keith sitting Sunday, Andy Ibanez will start at second base and bat eighth against Brewers right-hander Bryse Wilson.

Tigers' Casey Mize: Takes loss versus Brewers
Rotowire
Mize (1-4) took the loss to the Brewers on Saturday, allowing five runs (three earned) on eight hits and two walks with one strikeout over 5.1 innings.
Mize pitched into the sixth inning for just the sixth time this season. He was pulled with his team up 4-3, but the bullpen allowed both inherited runners to come across to score, sticking him with the loss. It was a tough break for Mize, as two of the five runs allowed were unearned. The right-hander is still looking for his second win of the campaign -- he's now gone eight straight starts without a win and has seen his ERA climb from 3.08 to 4.73 in the process.

Tigers' Colt Keith: Dealing with knee soreness
Rotowire
Keith was removed from Saturday's game against Milwaukee with left knee discomfort, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Keith and Akil Baddoo collided in right field while running at full speed, but Keith took the brunt of it and was removed from the contest during the third inning. Considering Keith was able to walk off the field without any assistance, it seems like he avoided a major injury. Still, the Tigers will likely continue to evaluate him throughout Saturday evening. Detroit will finish its three-game series against the Brewers on Sunday ahead of a team off day.

Tigers' Colt Keith: Removed from game after collision
Rotowire
Keith was removed from Saturday's game against the Brewers in the third inning after colliding with Akil Baddoo while tracking down a flyball, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Keith was running full speed toward the foul line in right field and collided with Akil Baddoo as the ball dropped. The second baseman looked to be grabbing at his left leg before walking back to the dugout unassisted. Zach McKinstry replaced Keith at second base.

Tigers' Wenceel Perez: Idle Saturday
Rotowire
Perez isn't in the Tigers' lineup Saturday versus Milwaukee.
Perez has gone 0-for-11 at the plate across his last three games, and the Tigers will now give him a chance to regroup. Justyn-Henry Malloy, Riley Greene and Akil Baddoo will start across the outfield while Perez sits.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Ineffective against Brewers
Rotowire
Brieske allowed two runs on three hits across two innings of relief in Friday's 10-0 loss to the Brewers. He walked two and struck out two.
The game was already essentially over after Detroit starter Reese Olson allowed eight runs over four innings, but Brieske didn't help matters. Even after the rough appearance, the righty still has a 2.70 ERA, and he's only been scored upon twice in seven appearances this season. Brieske should stick in a long-relief role for the Tigers, giving him limited fantasy appeal at the moment despite his good play.

Tigers' Reese Olson: Implodes vs. Brewers
Rotowire
Olson (1-7) took the loss Friday against Milwaukee, allowing eight runs on 12 hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out six.
It was a brutal night for Olson, who was tagged for a career-high eight runs. The 24-year-old right-hander has now allowed 13 runs over 9.1 innings in his last two outings after holding opponents to one earned run or fewer in each of his previous six outings. Overall, Olson sports a 3.43 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP and 58:22 K:BB across 65.2 innings. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, currently scheduled for next week at home against the Nationals.
