Will Vest - Strikes out side, earns win Vest (1-2) struck out all three batters he faced in an inning of relief to earn the win in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Royals.
Impact Vest was making his first relief appearance in five days, and he got hit hard his last time out, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk while only retiring two batters. The veteran looked much better Tuesday while he lowered his ERA from 7.94 to 6.75. Vest has allowed five earned runs across two of his eight outings so far, but he's been spotless in his other six appearances, and better days should be ahead for the typically reliable righty after enduring a few hiccups in the early going.

Kenley Jansen gets 479th save, moves past Lee Smith, as Tigers top Royals 2-1 for 4th win in row

Kenley Jansen got his 479th save, moving past Lee Smith for sole possession of third place on the career list, and the Detroit Tigers rallied from an eighth-inning deficit to beat...

Kenley Jansen - Secures third save Jansen worked around a hit to toss a scoreless inning of relief and earn the save in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Royals.
Impact After securing just one save through the first 13 games of the season, Jansen now has two in Detroit's last four contests. The lack of opportunities overall has limited the veteran to only 3.2 innings so far out of the bullpen, though he's looked sharp in the small sample with a 2.45 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and six strikeouts. The Tigers figure to pick up the pace, and Jansen would stand to benefit as the team's unquestioned closer.

Bailey Horn - Suffers setback The Tigers paused Horn's (elbow) rehab assignment Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Impact Horn has been working his way back from an arthroscopic surgery he underwent on his left elbow in the offseason and has made two rehab appearances with Detroit's Single-A affiliate, but he appears to have suffered a setback. An updated timeline for his return may emerge after he undergoes further evaluation.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Troy Melton - Completes bullpen session Melton (elbow) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact The 25-year-old righty suffered an elbow strain early in spring training and began the season on the 60-day injured list, but he started his throwing program about a month ago and has now resumed mound work. Melton still has significant work to do in his rehab program before beginning a minor-league rehab assignment, so it wouldn't be surprising if he spends more than the 60-day minimum on the shelf.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Beau Brieske - Throws off mound Brieske (groin) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Impact Tuesday marks the first time Brieske has thrown off a mound since he suffered a left adductor strain during spring training. He was placed on the 60-day injured list before the regular season began and isn't eligible to return until late May, but the 28-year-old appears to be progressing as expected.

Jahmai Jones - Battling stomach bug Jones is not in the Tigers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals due to a stomach bug, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact It's bad timing, as the Tigers are facing their first lefty of the season in Cole Ragans and Jones is on the roster almost entirely for his ability to hit southpaws. Consider him day-to-day. Gleyber Torres will be the designated hitter and Zach McKinstry will get a start at second base Tuesday.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Parker Meadows - Expected to miss 'multiple months' Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Meadows underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a left radius fracture and will be sidelined "multiple months," Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact Meadows is also recovering from a concussion. He's already been moved to the 60-day injured list, and there remains no clear timetable for his return at this point. Javier Baez has seen more action in center field since Meadows went down, and Matt Vierling and Wenceel Perez have also experienced an elevated role.

Max Clark - More walks than Ks at Triple-A Clark is slashing .352/.439/.537 with zero home runs, six steals, a 15.2 percent walk rate and a 7.6 percent strikeout rate in 14 games for Triple-A Toledo.
Impact The Tigers are currently deploying a combination of Javier Baez and Matt Vierling in center field with Parker Meadows (broken arm, concussion) on the 60-day injured list. Clark will certainly stay at Triple-A for the rest of the week, as the Tigers gain an extra year of control by keeping him down until April 20, but once that threshold is passed, Detroit could hand the keys to Clark in center field. As with many great up-the-middle prospects, Clark's power is a little behind the rest of his tools, but he is such a good pure hitter that he should get the most of his average raw power.
