Tigers option Christin Stewart, Matt Manning, three others to Triple-A Hinch said pitching prospect Matt Manning will likely stay in Lakeland for the month of April and work in minor-league camp

Optioned to Triple-A Stewart was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Impact It was reported before the start of spring training that Stewart would have to compete for a roster spot, and he ultimately did not do enough to break camp with the big club. Stewart will be the top option -- or at least among the top options -- should the Tigers need to bring up an outfielder from the minor-league ranks.

Will compete for roster spot Stewart will be competing for a bench spot during spring training after the Tigers added to their outfield depth during the offseason, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact JaCoby Jones and Victor Reyes return and look like outfield starters, and the team added Robbie Grossman and Nomar Mazara in free agency. Akil Baddoo also came over in the Rule 5 draft, creating a bit of a logjam. Stewart's prospect luster has faded over the past few seasons as he's struggled to hit consistently at the MLB level, so he'll need a strong spring training to have any chance at sticking in the majors.

Chicago Cubs get OF Maybin, 2 lefty relievers in 3 trades

Out of Tuesday's lineup Stewart is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Stewart homered in Monday's game but retreats to the bench Tuesday, with the Tigers deploying Victor Reyes, JaCoby Jones and Cameron Maybin in the outfield from left to right. It'll be Stewart's fourth time out of the starting lineup over the last seven games, and his rough .158/.226/.298 slash line isn't helping his cause for earning more playing time.

Homers in loss Stewart went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 9-3 loss to the Cubs.

Impact Stewart went deep against Alec Mills in the seventh inning for his second home run of the season. The 26-year-old outfielder has been a disappointment so far with just the two long balls and a .524 OPS through 21 games, and he's started to lose playing time recently as a result. Perhaps the home run will help get him going.

Out against right-hander Stewart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Indians, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact The lefty-hitting Stewart typically heads to the bench against southpaw starters, but he'll take a seat Sunday with right-hander Carlos Carrasco is on the mound for Cleveland. Stewart's absence from the lineup could foreshadow a potential demotion, as the 26-year-old has struggled mightily to get going this season. Jorge Bonifacio will draw the start in the outfield over Stewart, who is slashing .151/.224/.245 with a 32.8 percent strikeout rate in 58 plate appearances.
