Troy Melton - Hopeful to avoid IL Melton is optimistic about avoiding a stint on the 15-day injured list after being scratched from Monday's scheduled start against Houston due to lower-back tightness, Chris McCosk...

Impact Melton mentioned that he's not quite sure what caused his back to tighten up, but he's hopeful that the issue will clear up shortly. The club will presumably monitor him closely over the next few days to determine when he can make his next start.

Spencer Torkelson - Blasts 12th home run Monday Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's 9-3 win over the Astros.

Impact Torkelson had a three-true-outcomes night, as he struck out in his other three at-bats outside of his walk and home run. It's a pretty typical stat line for the slugger, who is batting just .210 this season but has gone deep four times in his last nine games to get to 12 long balls overall. While Torkelson can be a streaky player who is prone to slumps, his power keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats.

Dillon Dingler - Keeps rolling Monday Dingler went 2-for-4 with a triple and three runs scored in Monday's 9-3 win over the Astros.

Impact Dingler is known more for his home run power than his speed, but he's now managed to record a triple in consecutive games. The Detroit catcher is having an outstanding season with 16 long balls, 36 runs scored, 50 RBI and an .868 OPS across 65 contests. At this rate, Dingler seems headed for an All-Star Game appearance next month, and he's been a tremendous fantasy asset so far.

Kevin McGonigle - Goes deep in win Monday McGonigle went 2-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 9-3 win over the Astros.

Impact Colt Keith stole the show with a three-homer night, but McGonigle still managed to put together another great performance. The rookie infielder lifted his fifth home run of the season in the second inning, and he recorded multiple walks for the second time in his last five games. McGonigle is showing a patient approach at the plate with a little pop, which has made him a dynamic leadoff hitter for the Tigers and likely the frontrunner for American League Rookie of the Year at the moment.
