The Detroit Tigers welcomed back their best pitcher and placed another starter on the injured list

Colt Keith - Not starting Saturday Keith is out of the starting lineup against the Guardians on Saturday.

Impact Cleveland is starting southpaw Joey Cantillo, so the left-handed-hitting Keith is beginning on the bench. As a result, Jahmai Jones is getting a turn as the Tigers' designated hitter.

Kerry Carpenter - Taking seat against lefty Carpenter isn't starting for Detroit in Saturday's matchup versus the Guardians.

Impact Carpenter has only 12 plate appearances against southpaws this season and has gone 1-for-10, so it's not surprising that he's beginning on the bench versus Cleveland lefty Joey Cantillo. Wenceel Perez is drawing the start in right field in Carpenter's stead Saturday.

Hao-Yu Lee - Recalled from Triple-A The Tigers recalled Lee from Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

Impact With Jack Flaherty (ankle) landing on the injured list Saturday, Lee will return to Detroit to provide the big club with an extra bat and start at third base against lefty Joey Cantillo and the Guardians. Lee owns just a .578 OPS across 87 plate appearances with the Tigers but has gone 9-for-30 in Triple-A since his demotion.

Jack Flaherty - Placed on injured list The Tigers placed Flaherty on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left peroneal strain.

Impact Flaherty was forced to end his start Friday against Cleveland prematurely due to injury, and further evaluation determined he'll need to spend time on the IL due to complications with his outer ankle. Hao-Yu Lee was recalled from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move, though Casey Mize (thigh) is expected to return from the injured list Sunday and will presumably act as Flaherty's replacement in the rotation.

Ty Madden - Relegated to Toledo The Tigers optioned Madden to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Madden has posted a 3.15 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 20 innings with the Tigers this season, but he'll end up as the odd man out of a roster spot following Tarik Skubal's (elbow) return from the injured list. Madden's strong performance in the majors makes him a likely candidate to return later this summer whenever Detroit needs a fresh arm.

Tarik Skubal - Activated ahead of start The Tigers reinstated Skubal (elbow) from the injured list ahead of his start Saturday against Cleveland, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Skubal's start Saturday will mark his first outing since April 29 following a lightning-fast recovery from a procedure to remove loose bodies in his elbow. He made one rehab start at High-A West Michigan during his recovery but threw just 54 pitches, so he'll likely be working under a pitch count while taking on the Guardians. Ty Madden was optioned to Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move.

Spencer Torkelson - Goes deep again Friday Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.

Impact Torkelson has been finding his power stroke lately, as he's now gone deep in consecutive contests and has three home runs over his last seven games. Overall, the slugging first baseman is up to 11 long balls for the season. Torkelson can't be counted on to make consistent contact at the plate, and strikeouts remain an issue, but his ability to go deep should continue to prop up his fantasy value.

James Outman - Hits first 2026 home run Outman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.

Impact Playing in his first game with Detroit after getting claimed off waivers from the Twins on Thursday, Outman wasted little time in hitting his first home run with his new team as well as his first long ball of the season. The outfielder mostly struggled in Minnesota, posting a .156/.229/.250 slash line across 70 plate appearances. Outman will now get a chance to turn things around with the Tigers, though it remains to be seen what his role ultimately will be, and he's likely behind Matt Vierling for center field playing time, at least for now.
